A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60 at the Garfield Avenue off-ramp in Montebello, CA. The incident involved a gray Dodge Charger and a white big rig, which reportedly cut off the Dodge before swerving into it. As a result, the Dodge Charger ended up blocking the slow lane, creating a hazard for other drivers.
Emergency services responded to the scene shortly after the collision, which took place around 11:58 AM. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the incident. The driver of the Dodge Charger was unsure if their vehicle was drivable at the time of the report, but both vehicles were assessed for damage.
Traffic was affected as the Dodge Charger remained in a position that obstructed the slow lane. The California Highway Patrol took action to manage the situation and ensure the safety of other motorists. By approximately 12:14 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
This incident highlights the importance of maintaining safe distances between vehicles, especially when larger trucks are involved. Drivers are reminded to stay vigilant and cautious on the road.
