1 killed in crash on eastbound 10 Freeway in Covina; multiple traffic incidents snarl morning commute

COVINA, Calif. (KABC) — Multiple crashes along the 10 Freeway, including a deadly collision in Covina, disrupted traffic early Friday and prompted lane closures across parts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.

The first crash was reported shortly after 3:30 a.m. on the eastbound 10 Freeway at Via Verde in Covina, where the California Highway Patrol said one person was killed in a two-vehicle collision.

Four left lanes are expected to remain closed until at least 9 a.m., according to CHP.

Video from the scene showed both vehicles sustained significant damage as first responders responded to the crash.

Just over 10 miles away in El Monte, authorities issued a SigAlert for all lanes of the eastbound 10 Freeway at Peck Road because of a traffic accident. All lanes have since reopened.

Officials also reported a motorcycle crash on the eastbound 10 Freeway at Holt Avenue in West Covina. Video from AIR7 showed the motorcycle on the offramp. It was unclear whether anyone was injured.

In Fontana, a crash involving a big rig and a sedan blocked two right lanes on the eastbound 10 Freeway at Etiwanda Avenue at about 3:30 a.m.

The lanes remained blocked for about two hours before reopening at around 5:48 a.m.

No additional information about any of the crashes was immediately available.
