VALLE VISTA, Riverside County, Calif., Nov. 13, 2026 — Two vehicles collided on Thursday evening, November 12, at the intersection of Fairview Avenue and State Route 74, according to the California Highway Patrol. One person involved was unsure whether she had been injured and was described as shaken up.
The crash was reported shortly after 6 p.m. and involved a black Toyota Camry and a dark colored pickup truck. One report noted that a driver would have to climb out of the vehicle from the opposite side to exit, suggesting the vehicle was blocked or disabled on one side.
According to the CHP, one of the vehicles reportedly ran a red light before the collision, and the driver was allegedly driving recklessly in violation of state vehicle code just before impact, with speeds described as high. These details have not been independently confirmed and remain part of the investigation. The CHP initially classified the call as a crash with unknown injuries before updating it to reflect that medical units were en route.
The extent of the injuries has not been confirmed so far. It is not yet known whether anyone was transported for medical care.
We are hoping for a swift recovery for the injured victim.
