A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 91 (SR-91) near McKinley Street in Corona, CA, involving two vehicles: a gray Honda Civic and a blue Volkswagen Golf. The collision resulted in one vehicle being pushed down an embankment, creating significant debris across the roadway.
As a consequence of this traffic incident, lane closures were implemented to allow for emergency response and scene management. Multiple California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were dispatched to the scene to control traffic and ensure safety. The eastbound lanes of SR-91 experienced considerable congestion and delays during the morning commute, with traffic backups reported as vehicles navigated around the debris.
Emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene, with a tow truck called to assist in removing the vehicles involved. The cleanup process involved managing debris that was scattered across all lanes, which posed a hazard to other motorists. By approximately 7:21 AM, the CHP reported that the lane closures were lifted, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists traveling through the area should remain cautious and aware of potential residual delays as traffic returns to regular conditions. This traffic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during busy travel times.
