A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a red semi truck with a trailer and a black Toyota, occurred today near the Interstate 10 East and Monterey Avenue off-ramp in Thousand Palms, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute, leading to significant disruptions in traffic flow and necessitating lane closures for safety and management.

At approximately 8:09 AM, reports indicated that the black Toyota moved from two lanes over to the off-ramp, cutting off the semi truck and causing the collision. Emergency services responded promptly to secure the scene and manage traffic. The semi truck was partially blocking the slow lane, which contributed to delays for drivers in the area.

Towing arrangements were made for both vehicles, with a tow truck dispatched to assist in moving the damaged Toyota. Crews worked diligently to clear the roadway, but the off-ramp remained blocked for some time, causing traffic congestion and backups for motorists.

Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and anticipate potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to oversee the situation and ensure the safe removal of the vehicles involved in this traffic incident.
