A traffic collision involving a silver Toyota Prius and an unknown vehicle occurred early this morning on the westbound Interstate 10 freeway, near Almansor Street in Alhambra, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 2:49 AM, resulting in the Prius blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, which led to traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they found the Prius had sustained significant damage, including a missing tire. A tow truck was requested shortly after the collision to remove the vehicle from the roadway. By 3:14 AM, the Prius was confirmed to be in tow, helping to ease the traffic congestion that had developed as a result of the incident.
During the response, traffic was temporarily halted to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved. The extent of injuries remains unknown, but the swift action from emergency responders helped manage the situation effectively.
Motorists traveling on the westbound Interstate 10 are advised to remain cautious and be aware of potential delays in the area as cleanup efforts continue. Authorities recommend seeking alternate routes if possible until normal traffic flow is restored.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the potential hazards present on California roadways.
