Tragedy struck on the eastbound lanes of the 210 Freeway just past Alder in Rialto, where a person was hit and killed, prompting the closure of all eastbound lanes. The incident has resulted in a death investigation, causing significant delays in the area.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported the collision around 8:42 PM, leading to a complete shutdown of eastbound traffic. The CHP is working to clear the scene and open some lanes to alleviate congestion. As of now, only the carpool lane is accessible to motorists.
Details surrounding the accident are still emerging, and the investigation is ongoing. The CHP has urged drivers to seek alternative routes to avoid the backed-up traffic. The backup extends to the 15 Freeway, causing significant delays for commuters.
The CHP has provided an alternative route for drivers, suggesting the use of Baseline to Ayala Drive to bypass the affected area. The closure is expected to remain in place until the investigation is complete and the scene is cleared.
