Riverside, CA – A five-vehicle collision on the eastbound lanes of State Route 91 at the Van Buren Boulevard off-ramp in Riverside, California, caused significant traffic congestion this afternoon. The crash was reported around 2:58 PM and involved a Black Kia Forte, Black Chevy Malibu, Black Mazda CX-30, Gray Honda CR-V, and a Black Hyundai Elantra.
Several lanes on the off-ramp were blocked due to the crash, leading to heavy backups and delays for drivers in the area. Emergency crews responded quickly to manage traffic and ensure public safety, while towing services were called to remove the vehicles that could not be driven from the scene.
