A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 near North Pepper Avenue in Colton, CA. The incident took place around 6:11 PM and involved a white Chevrolet SUV, a blue Toyota Camry, and a white Ford. The collision resulted in the vehicles flipping over, leading to significant traffic disruption.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where the overturned vehicles caused all lanes to be blocked. Witnesses reported that the Chevrolet SUV collided with the other vehicles, which contributed to the chaotic situation on the roadway. As a result, traffic was diverted to the Rancho off-ramp, with only one lane remaining open for vehicles.
Tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, which were subsequently transported to a local tow yard for further processing. The traffic situation was complicated by delays, with reports indicating that congestion extended back to the Sierra on-ramp.
While the report indicated unknown injuries, no specific details regarding the condition of those involved were provided. Authorities are working to manage the aftermath of the collision and restore normal traffic flow on this busy highway.
