A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210 near South Myrtle Avenue in Monrovia, CA, due to debris on the roadway. The incident was reported around 8:00 PM, and all parties involved were confirmed to be off the freeway, with no injuries reported.
The situation began when large tires were found in the high-occupancy vehicle lane, causing multiple vehicles to collide with the debris.
