A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on State Route 60 East near North Diamond Bar Boulevard in Diamond Bar, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 4:08 AM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
The California Highway Patrol confirmed that the collision involved a gray Mercedes and a black Scion. By 4:09 AM, both vehicles were blocking the high-occupancy vehicle lane and partially obstructing the right shoulder. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from this incident.
Emergency responders arrived quickly to manage the situation. Fire services assisted in clearing the vehicles, and tow services were called to remove them from the roadway.
