A traffic collision on Interstate 210 West in Pasadena, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 2:59 PM, involved two vehicles: a white Ford F150 pickup truck and a blue 18-wheeler. The collision resulted in the blockage of lanes #2 and #3, leading to delays for motorists during the busy afternoon traffic.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, deploying traffic signals to manage the flow of vehicles and closing the affected lanes for safety. A tow truck was called to remove the white Ford F150, which was confirmed to be inoperable due to the collision.
As a result of the incident, a Sig Alert was issued for approximately 30 minutes, indicating that lanes #4 and #5 were also impacted. This alert informed drivers of the ongoing traffic situation, contributing to congestion and backups in the area.
By 3:32 PM, all lanes were reported to be open, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. However, the earlier lane closures had already caused significant delays for those traveling on Interstate 210 West. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential residual congestion as traffic continues to normalize following the incident.
