SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Motorists looking for information about a reported 91 South accident today should be aware that, as of the latest information reviewed on August 13, 2026, I could not verify a major new southbound crash on California’s State Route 91 that would support reports of a significant closure, confirmed fatality, or major injury.

The latest available Caltrans highway report for SR 91 lists a nighttime construction-related closure affecting the eastbound connector to northbound and southbound SR 57 in Anaheim, rather than a major southbound 91 freeway collision. The restriction is scheduled during overnight hours through August 15. (California Road Information)

California Highway Patrol’s Los Angeles-area incident information also showed traffic activity around SR 91, including a traffic hazard near Lakewood Boulevard and a collision response near N. Long Beach Boulevard, but the available entries did not establish a major southbound freeway crash on August 13. (CHP Mobile)

Is there a major 91 South accident today?

At this time, no independently verified report of a major new southbound Highway 91 accident has been located in the reliable sources reviewed.

That does not necessarily mean there are no minor collisions or traffic incidents. CHP incident logs can change throughout the day as new calls are received, cleared, or updated.

Drivers traveling along the 91 Freeway should remain alert for changing traffic conditions, emergency vehicles, lane restrictions, and construction activity.

Recent 91 Freeway crashes

The 91 has experienced several serious crashes in recent weeks. On August 6, one person was killed in a rollover hit-and-run crash involving a semi-truck on the eastbound 91 Freeway near Euclid Street in Anaheim, according to CHP information reported by ABC7. (ABC7 Los Angeles)

A separate fatal collision was also reported on August 3 near the 91 and Central Avenue area. (Chpfatal)

Those incidents, however, should not be confused with a new August 13 southbound accident.

Traffic conditions remain subject to change

Because Highway 91 is a heavily traveled Southern California corridor, even a relatively small collision can quickly produce congestion. Drivers should check current CHP and Caltrans information before beginning their trip and exercise caution around active emergency scenes.

This report will be updated if authorities confirm a significant 91 South accident, lane closure, serious injury, or other major traffic development.
