A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 210 East at Pennsylvania Avenue in Glendale, CA, involving three vehicles, including two semi-trucks. The incident was reported at approximately 8:14 AM during the busy morning commute, leading to notable traffic disruptions.
The collision caused the blockage of the middle lanes and the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, affecting one to two lanes of traffic. Emergency service units were quickly deployed to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was summoned due to major front-end damage sustained by one of the vehicles, requiring immediate attention. Additionally, an oil spill was reported in the lanes, prompting the request for absorbent materials to address the hazard.
As of 9:47 AM, the HOV lane and middle lanes remained closed, with updates indicating that the closures would extend for another hour. Motorists were advised to expect delays and congestion in the area as cleanup efforts continued. By 10:05 AM, the roadway was reported clear, but residual traffic backup may persist as vehicles adjusted to the reopened lanes. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid potential delays.
