A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning in La Puente, California, resulting in significant damage to one vehicle but no reported injuries. The incident took place at approximately 2:56 AM on the westbound side of State Route 60 near Nogales Street.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision involved a white Honda Accord and a black Dodge Charger. Initial reports indicated that the driver of the Honda was unresponsive to questions from emergency responders. By 3:02 AM, the black Dodge Charger was blocking the slow lane of the highway, creating a potential hazard for other drivers.
Efforts to move the Dodge Charger commenced shortly after the collision, but the driver struggled to relocate the vehicle. At 3:07 AM, emergency responders noted that the Dodge Charger had sustained major front-end damage, prompting a tow service request at 3:10 AM. Emergency services arrived on the scene at 3:08 AM and worked quickly to manage the situation.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. The black Dodge Charger was subsequently towed from the scene due to the extent of the damage, while the status of the white Honda Accord remains unclear, although it was not indicated to have sustained any significant damage.
By 3:21 AM, emergency units cleared the scene, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The California Highway Patrol urges drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while navigating through areas where accidents have occurred, as debris and other hazards may still be present.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during the early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Motorists are encouraged to stay alert and report any hazardous conditions to local authorities.
