Riverside, CA – Yesterday at around 1:50 PM, a serious traffic accident took place on State Route 91 East, close to Pierce Street in Riverside, CA. This incident involved a total of 12 vehicles, which included several semi-trucks and passenger cars, like a gray Chrysler 300 and a gray Toyota SUV.
The vehicles were mainly positioned on the right side of the highway and in the middle lanes. As a result, lane restrictions have been implemented, leading to notable traffic disruptions in the area. Emergency services are actively present at the scene to manage traffic and secure the location, contributing to significant delays and congestion for drivers navigating this heavily-traveled corridor.
Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes to circumvent the backup caused by this accident, particularly during the afternoon rush hour, when traffic is generally heavier. There are expectations that the drivable semi-truck involved in the collision will be relocated soon, which could help ease some of the traffic congestion.
As emergency responders continue to work on clearing the scene, drivers are urged to exercise caution and remain alert to the changing traffic conditions. This situation is still unfolding, and more updates will be provided as further information becomes available about the traffic incident on State Route 91 East in Riverside, CA.
