Lake Elsinore, CA- “Super Bloom” Congestion Causes 4-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 15 Freeway

Lake Elsinore, CA (April 2, 2019)- Heavy traffic near the Lake Elsinore poppy “super bloom” caused a 4-vehicle crash that injured seven people. The crash took place north of Lake Elsinore on March 30 on southbound Interstate 15 Freeway, south of the Lake Street off-ramp, at around 4:16 pm.

The California Highway Patrol stated that a pickup truck was among the four vehicles involved in the crash. One of the vehicles overturned during the accident, trapping one person inside.

Cal Fire and the Riverside County Fire Department noted that an air ambulance was called to take an accident victim to the hospital for treatment. Other victims were transported to hospitals in ambulances.

Traffic Back-ups on California’s Highways

Traffic is a fact of life in many parts of California. In fact, Los Angeles is home to one of the worst traffic pile-ups of all time: foggy weather caused a crash in LA in 2002 that damaged over 216 vehicles.

An exciting event such as the “super bloom,” a music festival, poor weather, and other factors can cause traffic back-ups. When traffic backs up, the risk of a pile-up or chain reaction crash becomes high. When people are anxious to get where they want to go, accidents can occur even if traffic is moving at or below the speed limit.
