A serious traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred late last night in Rowland Heights, CA, prompting a rapid response from emergency services. The incident was reported at approximately 9:52 PM at the intersection of State Route 60 East and Nogales Street Off-Ramp. One of the vehicles was found facing the wrong way and blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lane, creating a hazardous situation for other drivers.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the collision was reported. Initial reports indicated possible injuries, particularly concerning children who were present in one of the vehicles. The Los Angeles County Fire Department was requested to assist, ensuring the safety and well-being of those involved. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) also responded promptly to manage the situation and direct traffic.
By 9:53 PM, it was confirmed that vehicles were stopped in the area, leading to concerns about the potential for further accidents. The CHP updated the incident status to indicate that an ambulance was en route, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. Emergency personnel worked diligently to assess the condition of those involved and provide necessary medical attention.
A tow service was requested shortly after the collision to clear the roadway, as one vehicle remained in a position that obstructed traffic flow. The tow truck was confirmed to be on its way by 9:55 PM, allowing for the eventual reopening of the affected lanes.
The incident caused significant disruption in the area, with traffic delays reported as vehicles were diverted around the scene. Fortunately, the quick actions of emergency responders helped mitigate further risks and ensured that those in need received timely assistance.
