At least one person was injured following a multi-vehicle collision involving big rigs in Pasadena on Monday evening, June 24, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 7:20 p.m. on the westbound Foothill (210) Freeway near Lake Avenue.
Authorities stated that a manufactured home slid off a big rig and crashed into a white Honda CR-V and another big rig, with one of the semis being overturned on the freeway. As a result, at least one person, identified only as a woman, was injured and transported to a hospital after complaints of back pain.
The big rig’s trailer sustained considerable damage. Some parts of the dropped home were splintered, and debris was scattered across the highway. All lanes of the westbound freeway were closed for several hours to clean up the crash site and conduct further investigation.
No additional details were disclosed, and the police are gathering all the necessary information to determine the cause of the crash.
Investigations are ongoing.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
