A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a semi truck with a white trailer and an SUV, occurred today on the northbound lanes of State Route 57 (SR-57) in San Dimas, CA, just south of Via Verde. The incident took place during the early morning hours and has resulted in significant traffic disruptions.
Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented on northbound SR-57, causing delays and backups for motorists. Traffic was also affected on the northbound lanes of State Route 71 (SR-71), leading to congestion as drivers sought alternate routes. Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene, and multiple towing units were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved.
The SUV, a Tahoe, became lodged under the semi truck, necessitating extrication efforts. Authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. As of now, only the slow lane on northbound SR-57 remains closed, while the transition road from westbound Interstate 10 (I-10) to northbound SR-57 is also impacted.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to minimize delays as cleanup efforts continue. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
