A traffic collision on State Route 71 North in Chino, CA, caused significant traffic delays today. The incident occurred around 2:10 PM when a gray sedan collided with a black SUV, resulting in the blockage of the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety.
As the afternoon traffic began to build, the collision led to congestion for motorists traveling in the area. The HOV lane remained obstructed while a tow truck was requested to remove the gray sedan from the roadway. At approximately 2:20 PM, emergency responders confirmed that the lane would continue to be blocked until the vehicle was cleared.
Traffic management units worked diligently to redirect vehicles and alleviate the backup caused by the incident. By 2:43 PM, a tow truck was reported to be en route with an estimated arrival time of seven minutes. This response aimed to minimize the impact on traffic flow and restore normal conditions as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays in the area as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to stay informed about traffic conditions and to consider alternative routes if necessary.
