A single-vehicle accident occurred early this morning on the eastbound side of State Route 60 near the Fairway Drive off-ramp in the City of Industry, CA. The incident took place around 5:08 AM when a burgundy Nissan sedan overturned after colliding with a guardrail on the right shoulder of the freeway.
Witnesses reported that the vehicle was traveling at high speeds prior to the collision. Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, including multiple units from the fire department and law enforcement. Upon arrival, responders found the driver on the right shoulder of the freeway, who was initially believed to be trapped inside the vehicle. Fortunately, the driver was located and assessed without serious injuries.
The overturned Nissan sedan sustained significant damage, and the collision resulted in partial blockage of the right lane due to damage to the guardrail.
