A traffic collision on Interstate 210 East in Arcadia, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Mercedes that became immobile due to mechanical issues and a white BMW that was stalled with a blown tire. The Mercedes was blocking multiple lanes, particularly lane three, while the BMW was also situated in the same lane, contributing to the traffic backup.
