A traffic collision involving three vehicles, including a cement truck, occurred today on State Route 71 South near Rio Rancho Road in Pomona, CA. The incident was reported shortly after 10:00 AM, leading to the closure of at least one lane, which caused significant traffic delays during the morning commute.
Emergency response units were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Initially, vehicles were not moving, but by 10:06 AM, they were directed to move toward the roadside to alleviate congestion. Despite these efforts, the traffic incident resulted in a backup for drivers heading southbound.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, the presence of the cement truck complicated the situation, contributing to the lane closure. By approximately 11:35 AM, the vehicles involved were moved, but residual delays were still expected as traffic began to resume.
Drivers in the area are advised to remain cautious and anticipate potential congestion as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and minimize traffic disruptions. Commuters are encouraged to consider alternative routes to avoid delays associated with this traffic collision.
