A solo vehicle collision involving a black Chevrolet Tahoe occurred early this morning on State Route 57 North near Auto Centre Drive in Glendora, CA. The incident took place at approximately 12:46 AM, resulting in the vehicle overturning and sustaining significant damage.
Reports indicate that the driver of the Chevrolet Tahoe attempted to flee the scene shortly after the crash but was likely incapacitated due to the impact. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to the driver or any other parties involved in the incident. Emergency services, including fire personnel and towing services, responded promptly to manage the situation and clear the roadway.
The collision triggered the deployment of airbags within the Tahoe, highlighting the severity of the impact.

Emergency responders noted damage to approximately 40 feet of guardrail as a result of the crash, which posed an immediate hazard.
A tow truck was requested to remove the Tahoe from the scene due to its non-drivable condition.

The quick response from emergency services helped to minimize disruptions and ensure the safety of other drivers on the road. As investigations continue, the California Highway Patrol urges drivers to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
