A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210 (I-210) near the Myrtle Avenue off-ramp in Monrovia, CA. The incident involved three vehicles, including a silver Toyota Prius and a white Ford pickup truck.
Emergency services, primarily California Highway Patrol (CHP) units, responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. The collision resulted in debris scattered across the roadway, which led to lane blockages and significant delays for drivers during the evening commute.
Initially, the slow lane was obstructed, causing backups and congestion as motorists navigated around the debris. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of one of the vehicles involved in the incident.
CHP officers worked diligently to clear the scene, and by early evening, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. Drivers were advised to remain cautious as cleanup efforts were underway.
This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during peak travel times. Motorists are reminded to stay alert and be prepared for potential disruptions on the road.
