[01-15-2025] – Five-Vehicle Collision Causes Traffic Delays on Interstate 10 in El Monte

El Monte, CA — A five-vehicle collision disrupted traffic on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 near Santa Anita Avenue on the evening of January 15, 2025. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported the incident at approximately 5:22 p.m., causing significant congestion as the fast lane was blocked.

Emergency responders arrived promptly, and one vehicle was noted to have sustained major damage. Although injuries were initially classified as unknown, an ambulance was dispatched as a precaution to ensure the safety of those involved.

The express lane remained open, helping to alleviate some of the traffic build-up. By 5:29 p.m., five vehicles were confirmed to be obstructing the first lane, leading to notable delays in the area.

Crews worked efficiently to clear the scene, restoring normal traffic flow shortly after the incident. Motorists were advised to exercise caution due to potential residual delays.
