A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 10 East at Del Mar Avenue in Rosemead, CA. The incident took place around 1:24 PM, involving a white Jeep and a white Dodge Charger. One of the vehicles was reported as undrivable, which led to significant traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency service units quickly responded to the scene, where lane blockages were reported in the fast truck lanes and near the express lanes. As crews worked to manage the situation, motorists experienced delays and congestion, particularly during the busy afternoon commute.

By approximately 1:45 PM, all lanes were cleared after the vehicles were successfully removed from the roadway. However, the traffic collision had already caused a temporary backup, affecting the flow of afternoon traffic for commuters in the area.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect possible residual delays as traffic returns to normal. The California Highway Patrol deployed multiple units to ensure the safety of all motorists and facilitate the swift clearance of the scene. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining safe driving practices on busy highways.
