WEST COVINA, Los Angeles County, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 — A two-vehicle crash reportedly involving a Honda Accord and a Nissan Rogue blocked the left lane of eastbound Interstate 10 just west of Vincent Avenue Tuesday morning, October 27, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision was first logged shortly before 7:48 a.m. and was initially classified as a crash with no injuries, the CHP said. Investigators later upgraded the call to a crash with injuries, with at least one person reportedly enroute to a hospital, according to dispatch records.
A CHP Freeway Service Patrol unit responded to the scene and confirmed the left lane remained blocked for a period while crews worked the wreck. Multiple tow trucks were called to clear both vehicles, with one flatbed requested for the Honda Accord and a second for the Nissan, dispatch logs show.
The Freeway Service Patrol closed out its portion of the response by about 8:20 a.m., though tow operations continued for roughly a half hour after that as additional trucks arrived on scene. The extent of any injuries has not been confirmed, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
We hope everyone involved is okay, and we will share more as details are confirmed.

What to Do After a Car Accident in West Covina, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a freeway like I-10, try to move to the shoulder if the vehicle is drivable and it's safe to do so. Turn on hazard lights and stay inside the vehicle if you're stopped in a travel lane, since stepping out near moving traffic is dangerous. Call 911 to report the crash and request medical help if anyone feels pain or discomfort, even if it seems minor at first. Exchange information with the other driver and note any road or traffic conditions you noticed. Follow up with a doctor in the days after the crash, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away. Keep a copy of the CHP incident report for your records once it's available.
