A significant traffic incident occurred today on the westbound side of State Route 60 near Crossroads Parkway in the City of Industry, CA. The collision, which involved a semi-truck and at least one other vehicle, took place around 10:41 PM and resulted in a vehicle fire, leading to substantial lane blockage.
Witnesses reported flames from one of the vehicles involved in the crash, which caused multiple vehicles to obstruct the high-occupancy vehicle lane and the fast lane. Good Samaritans were seen attempting to assist individuals in distress, with reports indicating some were unconscious in the lanes.
Emergency services responded promptly, and tow trucks were dispatched to manage the situation and clear the wreckage. By 12:06 AM, some lanes were reopened as vehicles were moved to the right shoulder, allowing for the gradual restoration of traffic flow. However, the incident led to significant traffic delays in the area.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution as cleanup efforts continue. Travelers should consider alternate routes until the situation is fully resolved. The California Highway Patrol is on the scene, coordinating with tow services to ensure a safe and efficient clearance.
