A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of West Imperial Highway and South Western Avenue in Westmont, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute around 8:07 AM, involving a gray SUV and a tan sedan. One of the vehicles required towing from the scene.

In addition, sidewalk blockages on the east curb were necessary to facilitate work by the gas company, further complicating the situation for both motorists and pedestrians.
Multiple emergency units responded to the scene to manage traffic and oversee the incident. By 9:06 AM, it was reported that the gas company would take about two hours to arrive with a team to address the situation. A tow truck was also requested for the tan sedan, indicating it was involved in the collision.
