A significant traffic collision occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 710 at the Interstate 10 interchange in Alhambra, CA. The incident involved a gray sedan that flew off the freeway and landed on the surface streets below, resulting in a vehicle fire that fully engulfed the car.
Emergency services responded promptly at approximately 2:42 AM, with reports indicating that good Samaritans were assisting the driver, who was seen exiting the vehicle. The Monterey Park Fire Department arrived on the scene to manage the fire, which was intense enough to warrant additional fire resources.
The collision led to substantial road closures in the area. Westbound Ramona Boulevard is closed at Corporate Center Drive, while the northbound Corporate Center Drive is shut down at Ramona Boulevard. Eastbound Ramona Boulevard is completely closed at Interstate 710. These closures are expected to remain in effect for at least the next six hours, significantly impacting local traffic and bus routes.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays. The situation is being monitored by local authorities, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. The status of any injuries remains unknown at this time.
