A traffic collision involving five vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 605 (I-605) at the Interstate 210 East interchange in Irwindale, CA. The incident was reported around 5:25 PM, initially blocking lane #3 and causing significant traffic delays in the area.
The vehicles involved included a tan sedan with a hood issue, a gold Ford Focus, a tan Ford, a gray Ford F150, and a silver Ford FCS. Emergency responders worked quickly to move the vehicles to the road shoulder, which helped alleviate some of the congestion.
