A serious three-vehicle collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60, near the Hacienda Boulevard off-ramp in Hacienda Heights, CA. The incident took place around 11:08 AM and involved two large semi-trucks and another vehicle, resulting in significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they found that two of the semi-trucks were blocking multiple lanes, causing a blockage of all lanes except for the high-occupancy vehicle lane. As emergency responders worked to manage the situation, reports indicated that at least one driver was trapped in their vehicle, prompting immediate rescue efforts.
By 11:24 AM, the second, third, fourth, and fifth lanes were closed, leaving only the high-occupancy vehicle lane open for traffic. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, and the California Department of Transportation was notified to provide additional support.
Traffic was heavily impacted, with delays expected as crews worked to clear the roadway. By 12:22 PM, the first lane was reopened, but motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion.
Drivers are urged to remain cautious and aware of ongoing traffic conditions as cleanup efforts continue in the area.
