Long Beach, CA (August 11, 2025) – Multiple injuries were reported early Monday morning following a major multi-vehicle collision on eastbound SR-91 at Santa Fe Ave. The crash, which occurred around 1:53 a.m., involved up to six vehicles, including a black BMW 330i, a gray Honda sedan, a white SUV, and other unidentified vehicles.
According to early reports, at least one vehicle may have been traveling the wrong way in the eastbound lanes prior to the collision. Witnesses stated that several cars were moving at high speeds before the crash. One person was trapped inside a vehicle with a leg injury and bleeding, while others sustained various injuries. Airbags deployed in multiple vehicles, and debris from the wreck scattered into the westbound lanes.
Emergency crews blocked the HOV, #1, and #2 lanes while providing medical care and arranging transport for the injured. Tow services were called for multiple vehicles, and traffic delays persisted for an extended period as the scene was cleared. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the incident. Our thoughts are with all those injured, and we wish them a full recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Collisions in California
High-speed, multi-vehicle crashes, like Monday morning’s incident in Long Beach, can result in serious injuries and major traffic disruptions. When multiple lanes are blocked, emergency crews must coordinate not only victim care but also debris removal and traffic control to prevent secondary accidents.
Wrong-way driving, as suspected in this crash, dramatically increases the risk of catastrophic injuries. Combined with high speeds, it can lead to chain-reaction collisions involving multiple vehicles and victims. Safety officials urge drivers to remain alert, obey speed limits, and immediately report any suspected wrong-way drivers to authorities.
