A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the Interstate 210 East near the Santa Anita Avenue off-ramp in Arcadia, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 12:58 PM and involved an Audi, a GMC Pickup, and a Cyber Truck. The collision resulted in the blockage of the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, leading to significant traffic delays in the area.
Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to remove the Audi from the freeway, while the GMC Pickup was also identified for towing. The blockage created congestion in the surrounding lanes, impacting drivers during the busy afternoon commute.
By 1:36 PM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. However, the initial blockage caused backups that affected many motorists. The California Highway Patrol coordinated with multiple emergency response teams to ensure the safe clearance of the vehicles involved and to restore traffic conditions as efficiently as possible.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant in the area as residual delays may continue following the incident. This traffic collision underscores the importance of safe driving practices to prevent accidents on California highways.
