A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on Interstate 210 East near Grand Avenue in Glendora, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 2:12 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
The collision involved a gray Scion TC, which was confirmed to be blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle lane.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
California Highway Patrol units arrived on the scene at around 2:29 AM to assess the situation and coordinate the necessary actions.
