A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 10 West at Riverside Avenue in Colton, CA, involving five vehicles, including a gray Honda CR-V, a white pickup, a white van, a silver/gray sedan, and an SUV. The incident took place during the morning commute, leading to multiple lane blockages and resulting in considerable traffic congestion.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the situation, implementing traffic control measures to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the scene. Several tow trucks were dispatched to assist with the removal of the vehicles, which were obstructing the fast lane and contributing to the traffic delays.
As the situation developed, it was confirmed that three separate crashes had occurred, further complicating the traffic flow. By mid-morning, emergency responders began to open one lane to help alleviate some of the backup, but significant delays continued as crews worked diligently to clear the area.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the congestion and expect ongoing traffic impacts as cleanup efforts progress. This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and awareness of road conditions, particularly during peak travel times.
