A traffic collision on Interstate 10 East in Pomona, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles, including a gray Dodge Charger, which collided with an electrical box on the offramp. This impact resulted in a power outage affecting the lights at the offramp, further complicating traffic conditions.
Emergency units arrived at the scene shortly after the collision, which occurred around 10:00 AM. Traffic management measures were implemented to control the flow of vehicles and minimize congestion. By 10:02 AM, responders had positioned vehicles on the right shoulder near the offramp to facilitate traffic movement.
A tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the removal of the damaged Dodge Charger. As the situation developed, it was confirmed that the electrical box, owned by Caltrans, would not be repaired immediately, leaving the offramp lights inoperative. This situation is expected to contribute to ongoing traffic delays in the area.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential backups caused by this traffic incident. The scene was cleared by late morning, but residual delays may continue as drivers adjust to the altered traffic patterns. Stay tuned for updates on road conditions and travel impacts.
