A traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 210 (I-210) near North Allen Avenue in Pasadena, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident, reported around 9:25 PM, involved two vehicles: a green Astro van and a unit identified as “1125 LADDER.”
Emergency services responded promptly, with the ladder unit blocking lane three and being impacted by additional vehicles. This resulted in a narrowed roadway and traffic congestion, causing delays for motorists in the area.
