A multi-vehicle collision occurred this morning on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10, near the interchange with Interstate 605 in Baldwin Park, CA. The incident, which involved four vehicles, was reported at approximately 5:49 AM and is believed to have been exacerbated by heavy flooding conditions in the area.
Witnesses observed vehicles swerving to avoid the collision, which included a blue Hyundai Elantra, a red sedan, a green Jeep, and a gray sedan. The gray sedan was blocking the slow lane, while the Jeep was facing the wrong way in the carpool lane. One vehicle involved in the incident fled the scene shortly after the crash.
Emergency services responded promptly, and while the status of any injuries remains unknown, an ambulance was requested to the scene for further assessment. Traffic was significantly impacted, with all lanes temporarily blocked as crews worked to clear the wreckage and restore normal flow.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area due to ongoing flooding conditions, which may create hazardous driving situations. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes until the area is fully cleared and traffic conditions improve.
Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
