A solo vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the Interstate 210 West at the Arroyo Boulevard on-ramp in Pasadena, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 12:10 AM today and involved only one vehicle, which collided and ended up off the roadway, causing debris to block the lanes.
Emergency services were dispatched quickly, with units arriving on the scene by 12:18 AM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. The vehicle was found positioned up an embankment, requiring specialized recovery efforts, including approximately 100 feet of cable.
A tow truck was requested shortly after the incident was confirmed, with an estimated arrival time of 20 minutes. To ensure safety during the recovery operation, the Arroyo Boulevard on-ramp to the westbound lanes of Interstate 210 was closed at 12:49 AM. This closure allowed crews to work without interference from traffic, facilitating a more efficient recovery process.
Additionally, a street sweeper was requested at 12:37 AM to clear gravel that had spilled onto the roadway, further ensuring safety for other motorists. The vehicle was successfully towed from the scene, and the on-ramp will reopen once all debris has been cleared and the area is deemed safe for travel.
This incident underscores the importance of road safety and the swift response of emergency services in managing such situations. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and drive safely, particularly during late-night hours when visibility may be reduced.
