210 Freeway Traffic At A Standstill Following Crash Involving Diesel Leak

IRWINDALE, CA — Traffic is at a near-standstill on the westbound 210 Freeway following a crash in Irwindale that led to nearly all lanes being shut down, according to the California Highway Patrol.

All mainline lanes of the westbound 210 were closed at around noon after a crash involving a truck that leaked diesel onto the roadway near the Irwindale Avenue exit, just before the junction with the 605 Freeway. The lanes were expected to be closed for at least two hours to accommodate the cleanup, the CHP said.

The westbound carpool lane remains open, according to the CHP.

Traffic was moving at speeds of about 3 mph on an approximately six-mile stretch of the freeway between Irwindale and Sunflower avenues by 1 p.m., according to a SigAlert.
