A traffic collision on the Interstate 210 East in Monrovia, CA, caused significant disruptions today during the early afternoon hours. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Kia Sportage and a gray Nissan Juke. The collision occurred around 12:58 PM when the gray Nissan Juke struck a traffic signal on the on-ramp, blocking the roadway.
As a result of the traffic incident, lane closures were implemented, and traffic was obstructed by a fallen light pole and disabled vehicles. California Highway Patrol (CHP) units arrived promptly to manage traffic flow and control the situation.
By 1:39 PM, emergency responders had cleared the fallen light pole from the roadway, and a tow truck was dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the crash. Despite efforts to clear the scene, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area, particularly during the busy afternoon commute.
Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential backups and to exercise caution while navigating through the affected area. The CHP continues to manage the traffic incident to ensure safety and restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
