A single-vehicle collision occurred tonight on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 at the interchange with State Route 57 in San Dimas, CA. The incident took place around 10:56 PM when a Toyota Tacoma lost control on a wet roadway and collided with the right-side wall. Fortunately, the driver was not injured but became trapped inside the vehicle.
Emergency services were quickly notified, and multiple units responded to the scene to assist. Upon arrival, responders found the driver unable to exit the vehicle due to the position of the driver’s door against the wall. Emergency personnel worked efficiently to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the driver and surrounding traffic.
As the situation developed, it was noted that water on the roadway contributed to the vehicle's loss of control, creating a traffic hazard. Traffic management measures were implemented to ensure the safety of all motorists in the area. The California Highway Patrol monitored the situation closely and advised on potential lane closures if necessary.
By 12:15 AM, a tow truck was called to the scene to remove the Toyota Tacoma, which was successfully cleared from the roadway shortly thereafter. Emergency services remained vigilant, inspecting the area for any additional hazards and ensuring that traffic flow was restored as quickly as possible.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by wet road conditions, and drivers are urged to exercise caution during inclement weather. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to remain aware of their surroundings and adjust their driving behavior accordingly to prevent similar incidents.
In summary, the swift response from emergency services ensured that the driver was safely assisted out of the vehicle without injury, and the roadway was cleared efficiently, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow.
