3 Killed in Suspected Wrong-Way Crash on 91 Freeway in Riverside; Westbound Lanes Closed
Three people were killed at the scene early Thursday, November 12, in a three-vehicle crash involving a big rig, a black sedan and a white SUV on the westbound lanes of State Route 91 (the 91 Freeway) near 14th Street in Riverside, Riverside County, California, shortly after 2 a.m. A California Highway Patrol (CHP) dispatcher confirmed the three deaths. All westbound lanes were closed, Caltrans District 8 issued a SIG Alert, and the morning commute through Riverside was severely disrupted. The incident is still developing.
According to CHP traffic logs and reports from the scene, a vehicle had been reported traveling eastbound at high speed in the westbound lanes, swerving between cars, shortly before the three-vehicle crash was reported on the westbound freeway east of 14th Street. The white SUV overturned onto its side. A fourth person was taken to a hospital by ambulance with injuries of unknown severity.
The CHP closed all westbound lanes and the 14th Street on-ramp. Caltrans District 8 posted that all lanes were closed on westbound SR-91 near 14th Street in Riverside because of the traffic incident, with maintenance crews on scene for cleanup and no estimated time to fully reopen. Traffic in the area remained severely backed up as of 6:40 a.m.
The identities of the three people killed have not been released, and officials have not confirmed which vehicles they were in. What led to the suspected wrong-way driving is still unclear, and the CHP investigation is continuing. (Source: California Highway Patrol)
