A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound Interstate 10 at the State Route 57 and State Route 71 split in Pomona, CA. The incident took place around 7:02 PM and involved a white Nissan Kicks and a black Chevrolet truck. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the crash.
Both vehicles ended up on the right shoulder of the highway following the collision, with the white Nissan Kicks sustaining significant damage. Emergency services responded promptly, arriving at the scene by 7:45 PM to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all involved.
Due to the incident, the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane was blocked, which could have caused some traffic delays. However, by 7:29 PM, the HOV lane was cleared, and all other lanes remained open, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the damaged white Nissan Kicks, which was successfully towed away. The black Chevrolet truck's final status was not specified but was likely drivable given the context of the incident. The quick response from emergency services and the efficient clearance of the HOV lane helped minimize the impact on traffic, allowing drivers to continue their journeys with minimal disruption.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to remain vigilant while navigating California's busy highways. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor traffic conditions and respond to incidents to ensure the safety of all road users.
