A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60 near North Garfield Avenue in Montebello, CA. The incident took place at approximately 4:54 AM, involving a gray Kia SUV and a blue pickup truck. One driver was reported walking away from the scene, suggesting that injuries were likely minor.
Emergency services responded quickly, with units arriving by 5:20 AM. The collision resulted in both vehicles blocking the slow lanes of traffic, creating significant delays for morning commuters. Multiple tow requests were initiated to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow.
At 4:59 AM, it was confirmed that the gray Kia SUV was involved in the collision with the blue pickup truck, which was obstructing two right lanes.
