A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 10 West at North White Avenue in Pomona, CA, causing major disruptions to traffic flow during the morning commute. The incident involved multiple vehicles, leading to lane closures and traffic diversions as emergency units responded to manage the scene.
Shortly after the collision, all westbound lanes were halted, prompting authorities to request a hard closure of the freeway at Garey Avenue. Traffic was diverted off at Garey, resulting in considerable backup and congestion in the surrounding area. The California Highway Patrol issued a traffic alert, indicating that the duration of the lane closures was uncertain.
In addition to the freeway closure, the on-ramp from North White Avenue to westbound Interstate 10 was also shut down to facilitate emergency response efforts. Motorists were advised to use alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion.
Emergency responders worked diligently to control traffic and clear the scene. The California Department of Transportation was called to assist with the closure and ensure safety for all drivers. As the situation develops, drivers in the area should anticipate ongoing traffic impacts until normal conditions are restored.
