A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a white and red big rig and a black Lexus, occurred today on Interstate 210 West near Sierra Madre Villa Avenue in Pasadena, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 6:29 AM during the busy morning commute, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
As the big rig pulled over to the right shoulder, the black Lexus faced the wrong direction in the slow lane, resulting in a blockage of the right lane. This caused traffic to come to a complete stop for about 20 minutes, creating a backup that extended from Rosemead Boulevard.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene, with multiple units working to clear the vehicles and restore normal traffic flow. By around 6:56 AM, the roadway was reported clear, allowing vehicles to resume their journeys.
Motorists experienced delays and congestion due to the traffic incident, particularly in the right lane where the collision occurred. Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect potential residual delays as traffic gradually returns to normal.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak traffic hours.
