A traffic collision on State Route 71 South at West Mission Boulevard in Pomona, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a gray Nissan Altima and a white SUV—was reported shortly after 1:41 PM. Emergency responders from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACOFD) quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety.
As a result of the collision, vehicles were moved from the left shoulder to the Mission Boulevard off-ramp, but one lane remained blocked to facilitate traffic management. This blockage has led to delays and congestion in the area, particularly affecting afternoon traffic for commuters.
The CHP coordinated with LACOFD to control the scene effectively, allowing for the safe relocation of the vehicles involved in the crash. Smoke was reported from one vehicle, prompting a swift emergency response.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential backups and delays near State Route 71 South and West Mission Boulevard. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic flow is restored.
