A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 (I-10) near the Santa Anita Avenue off-ramp in El Monte, CA. The incident took place around 7:47 PM and involved a grey Infinity SUV and a white Toyota Sienna. Both vehicles were confirmed at the scene and required attention, with one vehicle designated for towing.
As emergency services responded, traffic was significantly impacted, leading to lane closures and heavy congestion in the area. Motorists experienced delays and backups as units arrived to manage the situation and control traffic flow. Witnesses reported that both parties exited their vehicles at the Santa Anita off-ramp, contributing to the traffic disruption.
Emergency responders worked to clear the incident, with a tow truck requested for the Infinity SUV to facilitate the reopening of the affected lanes. The situation was further complicated by heavy traffic in the area, which delayed the arrival of additional emergency units.
Drivers are advised to avoid the vicinity of the Santa Anita off-ramp on I-10 and seek alternative routes to minimize travel delays. Authorities are working to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
