A traffic collision on State Route 60 West in Hacienda Heights, CA, caused significant delays during the evening commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a green Toyota and a solo black vehicle that spun out and blocked the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and the first lane. This blockage led to all lanes coming to a stop, resulting in a considerable backup for motorists.
Emergency services promptly responded to the scene, focusing on traffic management and scene control. A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the black vehicle, which sustained major front-end damage. The green Toyota was moved to the roadside to help ease congestion.
By approximately 6:14 PM, emergency responders managed to release traffic in the second, third, and fourth lanes, allowing some vehicles to pass while the situation was being addressed. However, the first lane and HOV lane remained blocked for an extended period, contributing to ongoing delays in the area.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion as cleanup efforts continue. This traffic incident highlights the importance of cautious driving, especially during peak travel times.
