A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred this morning on Interstate 10 East near Monte Vista Avenue in Montclair, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 7:47 AM and involved a black Honda and a silver vehicle, which may have been a Lexus sedan or an Infiniti. One of the vehicles was deemed drivable, while the other required towing.
As a result of the traffic incident, there were significant restrictions on lane use, particularly affecting the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. Traffic was redirected near Indian Hill, leading to delays for morning commuters. California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety.
By 8:09 AM, officers were actively directing traffic, and the FSP was in the process of hooking up the non-drivable vehicle for removal. The closure of the HOV lane and the redirection of traffic contributed to congestion in the area.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays associated with this traffic collision. Updates will be provided as the situation develops, keeping the public informed about traffic conditions on Interstate 10 East.
