A traffic collision on Interstate 10 West in El Monte, CA, caused significant delays today during the afternoon commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a green Subaru and a semi-truck. While the Subaru was drivable and moved to the side of the road, the semi-truck required towing.
The collision occurred near the Santa Anita Avenue off-ramp, leading to the blockage of express lanes on Interstate 10. This obstruction resulted in traffic congestion and delays for motorists traveling through the area. Emergency services were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow, ensuring safety for all drivers.
As the situation developed, a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the semi-truck, which was located further ahead on the roadway. Traffic control measures were implemented to facilitate the clearing of the scene and restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and expect delays while traveling through the affected area. The California Highway Patrol is actively working to resolve the situation and minimize the impact on traffic. Updates on the traffic incident will be provided as more information becomes available.
