Riverside, CA (September 4, 2024) A crazy collision occurred in Riverside today, leaving one person with injuries. It all started with a kitten crossing the Riverside (91) Freeway and causing a three-vehicle collision in the process. It happened right around 12:40 p.m. in the westbound lanes and ended with the kitten making it safely to the other side. Motorists did not fare so well, though.
It was Wednesday afternoon in Riverside as vehicles headed along the 91 Freeway. In the westbound lanes, a small kitten wandered into the freeway and began crossing. A motorist in a sedan saw the kitten heading towards the center divide and stopped in the fast lane to rescue the kitten. As he grabbed the animal, another vehicle slammed on the brakes, skidding to a stop behind the first vehicle. The car behind them, however, did not have time to stop and slammed into the back of the second vehicle. The force sent the second vehicle barreling into the first stopped vehicle, according to reports.
