A traffic collision on Interstate 210 West in Pasadena, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles—a grey Honda Civic and a black Tesla—and occurred around 7:54 AM. The collision resulted in major front-end damage to the Tesla, leading to lane blockages that affected both the first lane and the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, managing traffic flow and arranging for tow services. By 8:24 AM, both vehicles were moved to the right-hand side of the road near the Sierra Madre Boulevard off-ramp, allowing for some relief in traffic congestion. However, the initial lane closures caused delays and backups for motorists navigating the area.
As of 8:34 AM, the roadway was cleared, but the aftermath of the traffic incident likely contributed to lingering congestion in the vicinity. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as traffic returns to normal.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak traffic hours. For ongoing updates on traffic conditions, commuters can check local traffic reports.
