A traffic incident occurred today at approximately 7:32 AM on East Duarte Road in Azusa, CA, involving three vehicles. The collision began when a blue Nissan Rogue collided with the center divider, resulting in the loss of a tire. This prompted a blue Jeep Cherokee to swerve in the lanes, while another vehicle continued driving despite being involved in the incident.
The traffic incident led to lane closures around the Duarte at Magnolia intersection, causing heavy traffic congestion in the area. The California Highway Patrol dispatched multiple units to the scene for traffic management and scene control. A tow truck was requested to assist with the blue Nissan Rogue, which was left unable to drive due to the damage sustained. The other vehicles involved were reported to be drivable.
Emergency response teams worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. The situation created significant delays for drivers, particularly on the westbound lanes of the nearby Interstate 210, where traffic was reported to be moving slowly. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes while the situation is being addressed.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the potential impact of vehicle collisions on roadways. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the area to ensure the safety of all travelers.
