A significant traffic collision involving two big rigs occurred today on Interstate 10 West (I-10 W) at the State Route 57 (SR-57) interchange in Pomona, CA. The incident took place during the busy morning commute, leading to substantial traffic delays and lane closures.
Witnesses reported that a red big rig and a white big rig were involved in the crash, necessitating the response of multiple heavy-duty tow trucks for vehicle removal.

As a result, the westbound lanes of I-10 leading to northbound SR-57 experienced hard closures, causing significant congestion and backups for drivers.
Authorities issued a SigAlert for the area, anticipating that the lane closures would remain in effect for approximately two hours while the scene was cleared. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion. The California Highway Patrol was actively managing the incident and coordinating with tow services to expedite the removal of the vehicles involved in the traffic incident.
