A traffic collision on Angeles Forest Highway in Pasadena, CA, caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred around 7:08 PM and involved two vehicles: a white Chevrolet van and a gold 1999 Ford F15. The Chevrolet van was rendered non-drivable, necessitating towing, which led to lane closures and temporary blockages on the roadway.
Emergency responders from the California Highway Patrol quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. As towing operations commenced, traffic was impacted, resulting in delays for motorists traveling along Angeles Forest Highway. The roadway's location on a blind curve made it particularly challenging for drivers, contributing to congestion and backup in the area.
By 9:39 PM, both vehicles had been successfully towed, and the roadway was expected to reopen shortly, alleviating the traffic congestion that had built up during the incident. Emergency personnel worked efficiently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as cleanup operations conclude.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas with limited visibility. The California Highway Patrol continues to emphasize safe driving practices to prevent future collisions.
