A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 210 West near Fruit Street in La Verne, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident involved three vehicles: a white Toyota Camry, a blue Ford Escape, and a silver Acura sedan. The Toyota Camry was blocking the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane after sustaining airbag deployment, while the Acura was also obstructing the HOV lane with its hazard lights activated.
As a result of the collision, traffic was heavily impacted, with all lanes temporarily stopped, causing significant delays and congestion for morning commuters. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the scene and facilitate traffic flow. The blue Ford Escape was moved to a controlled area to minimize further disruptions.
Motorists faced substantial backups as vehicles swerved to avoid the scene. A tow truck was called to assist in removing the disabled vehicles from the HOV lane. By approximately 1:15 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, residual delays may still be experienced in the area as the situation continues to clear.
Drivers are advised to remain cautious and expect potential congestion as traffic returns to normal.
