A multi-vehicle collision occurred today in Hacienda Heights, CA, involving three vehicles in the high-occupancy vehicle lane of westbound State Route 60 near Hacienda Boulevard. The incident took place around 3:57 PM and resulted in no reported injuries, although it caused significant traffic disruptions.
The vehicles involved included a blue Mazda CX-5, a white Ford, and a silver sedan. While the blue Mazda was drivable, it could not be moved due to heavy traffic conditions. The other vehicles sustained damage, with at least one requiring towing due to major front-end damage. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene to manage the situation.
Initially, all lanes were blocked as emergency responders worked to clear the vehicles. The California Highway Patrol arrived promptly, assessing the situation and coordinating the response. By approximately 4:15 PM, it was reported that only the high-occupancy vehicle lane and the number one lane remained blocked, allowing for some traffic flow to resume.
A tow truck was called to assist with the damaged vehicles, and the best access point for the tow truck was determined to be from the mainline. The situation was managed effectively by the responding officers, ensuring that traffic was cleared as quickly as possible.
Motorists were advised to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid delays. The California Highway Patrol continued to monitor the area until all vehicles were safely removed from the roadway.
Drivers in Hacienda Heights, CA, should remain vigilant as traffic conditions may still be affected in the aftermath of the collision. Authorities encourage all motorists to stay informed about road conditions and to drive safely.
