A traffic collision on Interstate 210 East in Azusa, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles, including a gray Chevrolet Malibu, which was towed from the scene.
The collision was reported at approximately 7:52 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services to manage traffic and secure the area. By 8:20 AM, a SigAlert was issued, indicating that the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and lanes one, two, and three would be blocked for an estimated two hours. This led to considerable delays and congestion for drivers in the vicinity.
As emergency crews worked to clear the scene, traffic was restricted, resulting in backups that affected the flow of vehicles on the interstate. By 9:39 AM, authorities announced that lanes one, two, and three were about to reopen, although the HOV lane remained closed for ongoing cleanup efforts.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and expect residual delays as traffic resumes normal flow. This incident underscores the importance of safe driving and being prepared for unexpected traffic conditions.
