A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 (I-10) at the interchange with Interstate 710 (I-710) in Alhambra, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved two vehicles: a black Toyota RAV4 and a dark-colored SUV. The collision was reported at approximately 7:33 PM, with the black Toyota RAV4 blocking the second lane and the dark-colored SUV positioned in the middle lanes.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Multiple units were deployed to assist with traffic flow, resulting in lane closures on the freeway. This caused delays and congestion for motorists during the busy evening commute. The mainline lanes were impacted, particularly the first and second lanes, which were blocked for a period of time.
A tow truck was requested to remove at least one vehicle from the scene, indicating that the vehicles involved may have sustained damage. By 8:12 PM, a police unit confirmed that the roadway was clear, and traffic was gradually returning to normal as officers directed vehicles off at Soto Street for the 180.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area and expect potential residual delays as traffic resumes.
