by in News

Four of the five lanes of the westbound 91 Freeway in Corona were expected to be closed through the late morning after a collision caused a big rig carrying gravel to overturn, the California Highway Patrol said.

Only the far-left regular lane of traffic and the two toll lanes near Maple Street were open.

The initial collision between a sedan and the big rig was reported just before 7 a.m. and involved other vehicles, the CHP said.
