A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 (I-10) near Fairplex Drive in Pomona, CA, causing significant traffic disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident involved a total of seven vehicles, including two silver SUVs, a black Jeep, and several other vehicles, which blocked multiple lanes of the highway.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Initially, up to five lanes were obstructed, leading to considerable delays and congestion for morning commuters. Traffic was reported to be at a standstill as vehicles were repositioned to the right shoulder to clear the roadway. A tow truck was called to assist in removing one of the vehicles involved in the collision.
By approximately 2:43 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, the incident caused significant backup and delays for drivers in the area, particularly during peak travel times.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions, as the aftermath of the collision may still affect travel in the vicinity. The California Highway Patrol coordinated multiple units to ensure safe traffic management and scene control throughout the incident.
