Riverside, CA (April 10, 2026) – A collision between a semi-truck and a white SUV occurred Thursday afternoon on the westbound Highway 91 off-ramp near Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside. Emergency services arrived at the location after reports of potential injuries. At least one individual at the scene was observed using an oxygen tank. Details are still limited at this point. The precise events causing the crash remain unconfirmed, and no official updates have been issued on the status of those involved. Officials are still probing the incident’s cause, with further information to follow upon availability. Our thoughts remain with those impacted during their recovery. What Happens When a Semi-Truck Is Involved in a Crash on a California Highway Off-Ramp? Crashes on off-ramps with large commercial trucks often generate substantial hazards because of the vehicles’ size and weight. Collisions involving a semi-truck near a busy interchange like Highway 91 in Riverside pose a significantly higher risk of serious injury than those between passenger vehicles alone. California experiences heavy commercial truck traffic, especially along major freight corridors in the Inland Empire. Large trucks find off-ramps particularly difficult, since drivers need to decelerate sharply over a brief distance, often amid congested traffic. A crash in that transition area can impact multiple lanes and pose hazards for nearby drivers.
