IRWINDALE, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 11, 2026 — A driver was hurt on Tuesday afternoon, November 10, when a sedan became wedged underneath a semi truck's trailer on westbound I-210 near the I-605 interchange, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 2 p.m. and involved a gray Honda Accord and a semi truck. Dispatch logs indicate the car ended up stuck under the truck's trailer, blocking the slow lane and slowing traffic in the area.
The car's driver was initially reported trapped and suffered cuts from broken glass. The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene to assist with the extrication. The extent of the driver's injuries has not been released.
A heavy tow was requested to remove the vehicles, though logs show a first request for a tow truck came back with none available, delaying the cleanup. It is not yet known what led to the collision, and the CHP has not said whether speed or any other factor played a role. The lanes were blocked for a period while crews worked to clear the scene.
Our thoughts are with those who were injured, and we wish them a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers stay safe around large trucks?
Give trucks extra space, avoid lingering in blind spots alongside or behind a trailer, and pass quickly and visibly rather than riding next to one.
Does driver fatigue play a role in truck crashes?
Yes, fatigue is a recognized factor in commercial truck crashes generally, though it has not been confirmed as a cause in this incident.
What should I do after a crash involving a commercial truck?
Move to safety if possible, call 911, seek medical care even for minor injuries, and wait for law enforcement to document the scene.
Why do trucks need more distance to stop than cars?
Their size and weight mean longer stopping distances, so sudden slowdowns ahead can leave less time to react than drivers expect.
