A traffic collision involving two vehicles, an older green Honda Civic and a big rig truck, occurred today on State Route 60 West near Grand Avenue in Diamond Bar, CA. The incident began around 12:30 PM when the Honda Civic was involved in a collision in the High Occupancy Vehicle lane. Shortly after, it was reported that the big rig truck clipped the Honda Civic.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and Freeway Service Patrol, responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. By 12:35 PM, the situation was under control, with the Honda Civic moved to the right shoulder of the highway. The status of the big rig truck remains unspecified, but it was confirmed to be involved in the incident.
Traffic management measures were quickly implemented to minimize disruption. The Freeway Service Patrol requested a traffic break on State Route 60 West just east of Diamond Bar to facilitate the clearing of the roadway. The Honda Civic, which sustained damage, was successfully relocated to prevent further obstruction in the HOV lane and the first lane of traffic.
Witnesses reported seeing the Honda Civic stalled in the HOV lane prior to the collision. The quick actions of emergency responders helped to mitigate any potential traffic delays, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant while driving and to adhere to traffic regulations, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation and urges drivers to exercise caution in the vicinity of the incident.
