A multi-vehicle incident occurred today on State Route 60 West near the Interstate 10 interchange in Beaumont, CA, involving six to seven vehicles. The collision was caused by debris that fell from a semi-truck, leading to several cars being pulled over on the right-hand side of the roadway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Emergency services responded to the scene at approximately 12:29 AM, where they found metal debris obstructing the right lane. The situation escalated as multiple vehicles, including a white Dodge Charger and a gray Honda CRV, were affected by the debris. Both vehicles required towing, and arrangements were made for their transport.

By 1:05 AM, additional resources were deployed to assess the situation and ensure the safety of all motorists involved. The California Fire Department reported that the second lane on the westbound side was blocked due to the debris, which caused some traffic delays in the area.

The scene was cleared by early morning, with the last vehicle being addressed around 3:52 AM. The California Highway Patrol later classified the incident as a traffic collision with no injuries. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential debris on roadways, especially near commercial vehicle routes.
