A traffic collision on Interstate 10 West at the interchange with Interstate 15 in Ontario, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 1:30 AM and involved two vehicles: a 2023 black Subaru BRZ coupe and a construction truck. The Subaru entered a construction zone and collided with the truck, subsequently catching fire.
Emergency response teams, including multiple California Highway Patrol units, quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation.

As emergency responders worked to clear the scene, traffic backups were reported, impacting the morning commute for motorists on Interstate 10. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays caused by the ongoing traffic incident.
