A multi-vehicle collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210 near Towne Avenue in Claremont, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 3:22 PM, with a white Chevrolet Corvette identified as the primary vehicle involved. Witnesses noted that the Corvette was driving erratically prior to the crash.
After the collision, the driver of the Corvette attempted to flee the scene but was later located by law enforcement. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported among those involved in the incident. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and local police, responded promptly to the scene.
The crash resulted in the Corvette blocking the middle lane, causing traffic delays as vehicles navigated around the wreckage. By 4:28 PM, the scene had been cleared, and traffic began to return to normal.

Authorities are reminding drivers of the importance of safe driving practices, especially in light of this incident. Reckless driving poses a significant risk not only to the driver but also to other road users.
