A traffic collision on Interstate 10 East in West Covina, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today during the evening commute. The incident, involving two vehicles—a maroon Nissan sedan and a tan pickup truck—occurred around 6:03 PM, blocking the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and leading to delays for motorists.
Emergency units responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. A tow truck was called to remove the maroon Nissan sedan, which was eventually relocated to the roadside. The quick action from emergency personnel helped to minimize congestion, but drivers experienced backups as they navigated around the blocked lane.

As the evening commute continued, motorists were advised to expect residual delays as the area cleared. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow, ensuring that the incident was managed efficiently.
