A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred this morning on State Route 710 South, just south of Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, CA. The incident took place around 7:27 AM and resulted in minor injuries to the occupants of both vehicles involved.
The vehicles involved in the collision were a gray Honda CR-V and a black Honda Civic. Emergency services responded quickly, with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) on the scene to manage the situation and ensure safety for all involved. By 7:28 AM, both vehicles were reported to be on the right shoulder of the highway, allowing for a swift response from authorities.
The black Honda Civic sustained significant front-end damage and required a tow truck for removal. At 7:58 AM, a tow truck was requested specifically for the damaged vehicle, and arrangements were made for its removal shortly thereafter. The gray Honda CR-V was likely drivable, although specific details regarding its condition were not provided.
The CHP updated the incident status to reflect minor injuries, indicating that while the situation was serious enough to require emergency services, the injuries sustained were not life-threatening. The quick response from the CHP and other emergency personnel helped manage the scene effectively, minimizing further disruption to traffic.
As a result of the collision, there were temporary lane closures on State Route 710 South, which may have impacted morning commuters. However, the situation was resolved relatively quickly, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution while driving, especially in busy areas like Pasadena, CA, where accidents can occur unexpectedly. The CHP encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws to prevent similar incidents in the future.
