Eastbound 91 Freeway Partially Closed Due To Bridge Damage

UPDATE: At approximately 5:30 p.m. Caltrans tweeted that all lanes on the eastbound 91 Freeway have been reopened.

RIVERSIDE, CA — The California Highway Patrol has partially shut down the eastbound Riverside (91) Freeway between Buchanan and Pierce streets in Riverside because of a crash Friday afternoon that damaged an overpass, flinging debris into lanes.

According to the CHP CAD, a tow truck and vehicle crashed, sending the truck into the Buchanan overcrossing. Exposed rebar and chunks of cement have fallen onto the freeway, and Caltrans wants the bridge closed due to major damage, according to the CAD.

The 2, 3 and 4 lanes on the eastbound 91 are closed for an "unknown duration," according to the CAD.

The crash was reported around noon, but there is still no word on reopening.

There are no immediate reports of serious injury.
