A traffic collision involving a Mini Cooper and a semi-truck occurred early today in Diamond Bar, CA, leaving the Mini Cooper lodged under the trailer of the larger vehicle. Fortunately, the driver of the Mini Cooper was able to exit the vehicle without serious injuries.
The incident took place around 1:30 AM at the intersection of State Route 57 South and Pathfinder Road Off-Ramp. Emergency services responded promptly, managing traffic and ensuring the safety of all individuals at the scene. Initial reports indicated that multiple vehicles were involved, but it was later confirmed that only the Mini Cooper and the semi-truck were affected.
As emergency responders arrived, they found the Mini Cooper stuck under the trailer of the semi-truck, which required a tow truck for removal. The semi-truck remained on-site, and no serious injuries were reported among the drivers involved. Traffic management measures were implemented to minimize disruption, particularly for vehicles approaching from the eastbound direction on State Route 60.
Authorities set up a flare pattern to alert drivers of the ongoing incident, especially as they approached a blind curve near the intersection. This proactive measure helped to prevent further accidents and ensured the safety of motorists in the area.
The Mini Cooper was deemed undriveable and required towing, while the semi-truck was assessed for any potential damage. Fortunately, the situation was resolved without any significant injuries, and the roadway was cleared in a timely manner.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while driving in the area, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. The California Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
