A traffic collision on Interstate 210 West in Pasadena, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving two vehicles—a white Honda Civic and a white BMW—occurred early this morning around 1:19 AM. One vehicle was blocking the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, while the other was located on the roadway shoulder.
As a result of the collision, temporary lane closures were implemented, leading to traffic slowdowns and congestion in the area. Commuters experienced delays as emergency responders managed the scene. Initially, towing services were requested to assist with the vehicles involved, but those requests were later canceled as the situation was assessed.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived promptly to oversee the incident and ensure the safe clearance of the roadway. By approximately 1:40 AM, the vehicles were moved to the shoulder, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly. However, some residual delays were expected as the morning commute continued.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 210 West should remain cautious and expect possible backups near North Allen Avenue. The CHP has since cleared the scene, but drivers are advised to stay alert for any further traffic incidents in the area.
