Were You Snarled In Traffic Today On The 215 Freeway?
A SigAlert was issued but canceled a short time later when all but one of the traffic lanes was re-opened.
Two separate crashes today on Interstate 215 in Murrieta snarled traffic, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The first crash happened about 12:20 p.m. when a pickup truck and sedan collided on the northbound side of the freeway, just south of Scott Road.
The truck overturned in the fast lane, CHP officials said.
It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was injured.
The second collision happened about 25 minutes later in the vicinity of the first wreck, when a Nissan Versa was sideswiped by a big rig as the smaller vehicle's driver attempted to get around traffic by skirting the shoulder of the freeway, the CHP said.
No injuries were reported in that crash.
