A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on State Route 134 West near North San Rafael Avenue in Pasadena, CA, disrupting traffic during the morning commute. The incident involved a sedan, a concrete mixer, a white Honda Civic, and a water truck. Initial reports indicated that the sedan collided with the back of the concrete mixer, resulting in vehicles blocking multiple lanes.
Emergency units quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. At one point, all lanes were stopped, causing delays and congestion for drivers in the vicinity. However, by 6:10 AM, emergency responders had successfully cleared the scene, allowing all lanes to reopen.
The white Honda Civic sustained front-end damage but remained drivable, leading to the cancellation of a tow request. The efficient response from emergency personnel helped alleviate the backup that had formed during the incident, enabling traffic to resume more smoothly.
Motorists traveling through Pasadena should stay alert for potential traffic incidents that may affect travel times. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the road conditions to ensure safety for all drivers.
