A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of State Route 60 (SR-60) at Rosemead Boulevard in South El Monte, CA, involving five vehicles. The incident included a gray freightliner, a green sedan, a big rig, and a semi truck, leading to partial lane blockages and impacting traffic flow.
Emergency response teams are actively managing the scene, directing traffic and implementing lane restrictions to facilitate movement through the area. As a result, drivers may experience delays and congestion, particularly during the busy morning commute. The front end of one vehicle is obstructing the slow lane, which is contributing to the traffic issues.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups. The best access point to navigate around the incident is northbound Rosemead Boulevard, which allows drivers to reach the westbound SR-60 more efficiently.
As emergency units continue to control the situation, it is essential for drivers to remain vigilant and follow traffic management instructions. The full extent of the traffic impact is still being assessed, but commuters should anticipate delays as the scene is cleared and normal traffic patterns are restored.
