One person was injured in a four-vehicle wreck Friday on the north end of Moreno Valley that prompted a partial closure of a four-lane corridor.

The collision happened about 4:30 p.m. on Pigeon Pass Road, near Hemlock Avenue, just north of the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

The agency said that multiple engine crews were sent to the location and encountered four vehicles in a chain crash on the southbound side of Pigeon Pass.

Firefighters blocked both southbound lanes to assess the victims and prevent other motorists from driving over wreckage.

One driver suffered minor to moderate injuries in the collision and was taken to nearby Riverside University Medical Center for treatment, according to reports from the scene.

The other parties involved in the wreck did not require hospitalization.

Sheriff’s deputies were investigating the cause of the crash.

The lane closures remained in effect as of 5 p.m.
