A single-vehicle incident occurred early this morning on the transition from eastbound State Route 60 to northbound State Route 57 in Diamond Bar, California. The incident was reported at approximately 12:19 AM when a black compact car became disabled due to overheating, blocking the right lane of the transition area.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene as other vehicles were observed swerving to avoid the disabled car, which had its hazard lights activated. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident, but the situation created a temporary hazard for drivers navigating the transition.
At 12:33 AM, a tow truck was requested to assist in removing the disabled vehicle from the roadway. By 12:42 AM, authorities confirmed that the vehicle was indeed overheated and had caused a disruption in traffic flow. The tow truck arrived shortly after, and by 12:45 AM, the vehicle was successfully towed away from the scene, allowing traffic to resume normal operations.
The California Highway Patrol was on-site to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all motorists involved. Their quick response helped mitigate potential accidents that could have arisen from the disabled vehicle's presence on the roadway.
Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious while navigating the transition from State Route 60 to State Route 57, especially during the early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. The incident highlights the importance of vehicle maintenance to prevent overheating and other mechanical failures that can lead to dangerous situations on the road.
