A significant multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210 near North San Gabriel Boulevard in Pasadena, California. The incident involved five vehicles: a black pickup truck, a semi-truck, a black Honda SUV, a white Toyota sedan, and another white sedan. Emergency services, including the Pasadena Fire Department and the California Highway Patrol, responded quickly to the scene.
The collision was reported around 2:24 PM, with emergency responders indicating that multiple lanes were blocked as a result of the crash. At least three individuals involved in the incident required medical evaluation, prompting an ambulance to be dispatched to the location. While the specific nature and extent of their injuries were not detailed in the reports, the need for medical assistance was clearly indicated.
As emergency crews worked to manage the situation, the vehicles were obstructing several lanes, which impacted traffic flow in the area. The California Highway Patrol was on-site to ensure the safety of all involved and to facilitate the clearing of the wreckage. By 2:49 PM, the CHP confirmed that the incident had been resolved, although it was not specified whether the vehicles were drivable or needed to be towed.
In addition to the collision, reports indicated that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was also involved, as they sent additional units to assist with the situation. Their involvement was likely due to a fire reported in the vicinity, which may have contributed to the urgency of the response.
Motorists traveling through the area were advised to exercise caution and expect delays while emergency crews worked to clear the scene. The California Highway Patrol has since closed the case, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the potential hazards present on busy highways. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
