A traffic collision involving two white box trucks occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60, just west of Phillips Ranch Road in Pomona, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 12:13 PM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.
The California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Fire Department were dispatched to the scene shortly after the collision was confirmed at 12:14 PM. Initial reports indicated that both vehicles were blocking the middle lanes of the highway, which raised concerns about traffic flow in the area. By 12:20 PM, it was confirmed that one of the vehicles involved was a box truck, while the other was identified as a dump truck.
