A traffic collision on State Route 60 East in Hacienda Heights, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 7:50 PM and involved three vehicles, including a Dodge Durango and an unmarked recovery vehicle. The collision resulted in debris on the roadway and partially blocked an exit ramp, leading to traffic delays for motorists in the area.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded quickly to manage the scene and implement traffic control measures. As the CHP units secured the area, they worked to clear the debris and restore normal traffic flow. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the recovery of the Dodge Durango, which had damage to its front tire. Although a separate tow request was initially made, it was later canceled as the situation was assessed.
Motorists experienced backups and delays during the evening rush hour due to the partial blockage of the exit ramp. The CHP's prompt response helped mitigate further congestion, but drivers were advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continued.
This traffic collision underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for effective emergency response to minimize traffic disruptions.
