A significant traffic incident occurred today on the westbound lanes of State Route 60 (SR-60) at the intersection with Reservoir Street in Chino, CA. The incident involved a single vehicle that went up the ramp embankment, resulting in all lanes being closed to traffic.
Emergency responders, including multiple California Highway Patrol (CHP) units, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported at approximately 2:02 AM. Traffic was heavily impacted, leading to significant delays and congestion in the area. To manage the situation, traffic was diverted off at the Ramona Expressway, and a sig alert was issued, indicating that all lanes would remain closed for an estimated two to three hours.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicle, which was ultimately taken to a nearby tow yard. By 5:42 AM, all lanes were reported to be reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes during the closure to avoid the backup caused by the traffic incident. This situation highlights the importance of staying alert while driving, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
