Truck Crashes Through Center Divider, Snarls Traffick on 2 SGV Freeways

DIAMOND BAR, CA - Traffic on two freeways was snarled Sunday when a truck crashed through a center divider in Diamond Bar, and a motorist in connection with the crash was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

It was not immediately clear if the motorist arrested was the driver of the truck, said California Highway Patrol officer Tony Polizzi.

The crash was on westbound Pomona (60) Freeway at the Diamond Bar Boulevard offramp at 6:19 a.m., the CHP reported. The truck went through the center divider and blocked three of the four eastbound lanes.

One person was taken to an area hospital. That person's condition was not immediately known and the motorist was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving at 7:32 a.m., Polizzi said.

A SigAlert was issued at 6:47 a.m. closing the two, three and four eastbound lanes for 90 minutes.

Traffic on the eastbound 60 Freeway, and the northbound Orange (57) Freeway, was snarled.
