A traffic collision occurred today on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210 (I-210) near Irwindale Avenue in Irwindale, CA. The incident involved four vehicles, including a black BMW 328i, which was positioned facing westbound in the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. As a result of the collision, the HOV lane was blocked, leading to significant traffic disruptions and congestion on the eastbound side of the highway.
Multiple units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. A tow truck was called to remove one of the vehicles involved in the incident. The blockage of the HOV lane caused delays and backups for motorists, particularly during the busy afternoon commute hours.
Witnesses reported that vehicles were approaching the scene at high speeds, contributing to the chaotic situation. The CHP worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes to minimize delays.
This traffic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during peak travel times. Updates will follow as the situation develops and the roadway is cleared.
