A solo vehicle collision occurred late last night in Whittier, CA, involving a black BMW that crashed into a right-side wall. The incident was reported around 10:56 PM on the westbound lanes of State Route 60 near the Interstate 605 interchange. Emergency services were dispatched shortly after the collision was confirmed, arriving on the scene by 11:34 PM.
The California Highway Patrol confirmed that the black BMW was the only vehicle involved in the accident. Initial reports indicated that the vehicle hit the wall, prompting a traffic break at Hacienda shortly thereafter. A gray Toyota Sienna was noted at the scene by 11:15 PM, but it was confirmed that this vehicle was not involved in the collision.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the accident. The black BMW was towed from the scene due to a dead battery, while the status of the gray Toyota Sienna remains unspecified. Emergency services worked diligently to manage the situation, ensuring that traffic was safely redirected and the area was cleared for further investigation.
The incident caused some traffic disruptions in the area, particularly with the traffic break implemented at Hacienda. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes while emergency crews worked to resolve the situation.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in areas where traffic conditions can change rapidly. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation and urges drivers to remain vigilant on the roads.
