A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the Interstate 10 West on-ramp to Santa Anita Avenue in El Monte, CA. The incident took place around 7:17 AM and involved a silver sedan and a gray sedan, both of which were likely undriveable following the crash. Additionally, a white Toyota RAV4 was reported to have gone off the road and into a dirt area adjacent to the on-ramp.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, and while there were indications of potential injuries, the exact status of those involved remains unknown. The on-ramp was obstructed as individuals were reported standing near the vehicles, which further complicated the situation.

Fire services were notified due to the circumstances surrounding the white Toyota RAV4, which had rolled into a hillside. Traffic was impacted as emergency responders worked to clear the scene, and the on-ramp was temporarily blocked to ensure safety for both responders and motorists.

By 8:22 AM, authorities confirmed that a chain-link fence had been knocked down during the incident, but there was no immediate hazard to traffic. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays in the area. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and caution while navigating busy highways.
