A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 210 (I-210) at South Myrtle Avenue in Monrovia, CA, involving four vehicles, including two big rigs and two Lexus vehicles. The incident was reported around 12:53 PM, leading to significant traffic disruptions as one white Lexus became non-drivable and another Lexus blocked lane three. Additionally, one big rig obstructed both lanes three and four.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the situation and control the scene. The blockage of multiple lanes resulted in considerable delays and backups for drivers during the afternoon commute. Traffic management efforts focused on directing vehicles away from the affected lanes and ensuring the safe clearance of the roadway.
By 1:25 PM, the roadway was reported to be clear, with vehicles moved to the side, allowing traffic to resume. However, the initial impact of the collision caused significant congestion in the area, affecting local traffic patterns.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential residual delays as the situation normalizes. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and facilitate the flow of traffic.
