CORONA, Riverside County, Calif., Nov. 2, 2026 — A sedan and a van collided on westbound State Route 91 just east of Green River Road in Corona on Sunday morning, November 1, according to the California Highway Patrol. The crash blocked the toll lanes and the right freeway lanes for part of the morning commute.
A blue Tesla sedan and a white van were involved in the collision, with airbags deployed in at least one vehicle. The incident was initially logged as a crash of unknown injury severity before CHP dispatchers upgraded it to a collision with injuries.
Units on scene reported all westbound lanes stopped for a time as crews worked to clear the vehicles. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicles from the roadway, and CHP units were still working to restore traffic flow more than half an hour after the initial report. Shortly before 8 a.m., the police reported that all lanes had reopened.
No further details on what led to the collision have been released. The California Highway Patrol has not said whether speed or any other factor contributed to the crash, and the matter remains under investigation.
We wish the injured a complete and speedy recovery.

Keeping a safe following distance, staying alert for sudden slowdowns, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel are basic steps that lower the chance of a collision, especially in congested freeway sections.
