A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 10 East near Morongo Trail in Cabazon, CA, involving two vehicles: a semi truck and a Honda. The incident took place around 2:39 AM, resulting in both vehicles requiring towing due to their positions and damage.
Traffic flow was severely disrupted, with all lanes blocked along this section of the highway, leading to substantial delays for early morning commuters. Emergency traffic management was quickly implemented, with multiple units dispatched to secure the scene and facilitate the clearing of the wreckage.
The semi truck, which was transporting a 53-foot trailer, went off the roadway, while the Honda was found in a nearby area. Due to concerns about potential hazardous materials from the semi truck, additional precautions were taken. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of both vehicles, and traffic remained halted as crews worked diligently to restore normal conditions.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the area until the situation is resolved. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and expedite the reopening of the highway.
