RIVERSIDE, Riverside County, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 — At least one person was hurt on Wednesday night, November 11, in a multi-vehicle crash on the connector ramp from eastbound SR-91 to westbound SR-60 in Riverside, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 9:20 p.m. on the transition road, where the CHP said as many as four vehicles were involved. A log from the agency listed a silver Acura sedan, a flatbed truck, a gray Toyota sedan and a gray Nissan Versa among the vehicles at the scene, though the exact number and order of impact were not confirmed.
One occupant was reported to have suffered a head injury, though the person's age, gender, and condition were not released. All vehicles reportedly came to rest on the right shoulder of the transition, and debris was reportedly spread across the traffic lanes. One vehicle was reportedly leaking oil following the crash.
The CHP requested a tow truck to the scene, and a rotation tow company was called in to begin clearing wreckage. The cause of the crash and whether any citations will be issued remain under investigation.
We wish those injured a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are secondary crashes common after an initial wreck like this one?
Yes. When vehicles and debris remain in or near travel lanes, approaching drivers can have little time to react, which raises the risk of a follow-up collision before responders can clear the scene.
What makes multi-vehicle crashes hard for investigators to sort out?
With several vehicles involved, investigators usually have to reconstruct the sequence of impacts from vehicle damage, resting positions, and witness accounts, which can take time, especially on a ramp or transition road with limited shoulder space.
What typically causes pile-ups involving three or more vehicles?
Common factors include sudden braking, reduced visibility, or one vehicle stopping or slowing unexpectedly in heavy traffic, though the specific cause in any individual crash is determined only after investigators review the evidence.
