A traffic collision on State Route 60 East in South El Monte, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 11:50 PM, involved two vehicles, specifically a white Escalade and a white Kia, which blocked several lanes and created slow-moving traffic in the area.

Emergency response units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. The collision resulted in lane closures that contributed to congestion, particularly affecting the Santa Anita Boulevard on-ramp to the eastbound State Route 60.

A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles, both of which sustained damage. The ongoing lane closures led to delays for motorists traveling through the area during the late-night hours.

Drivers are advised to expect backups and consider alternative routes to avoid the affected area until the situation is resolved. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to ensure traffic resumes smoothly once the vehicles are cleared.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times. Stay informed about road conditions and plan accordingly to minimize travel disruptions.
