CALIFORNIA – An incident involving the transport of a prefabricated house on a California highway left one person injured on Monday night, June 24. The truck accident occurred around 7 p.m. on June 24 in Pasadena, California.
Authorities reported that a semi-truck was transporting a prefabricated house when it was involved in an accident with another semi-truck and a Honda CRV on Highway 210. A woman who was in the rest area of the second truck was taken to a hospital for treatment following the accident.
Tarane Black, the driver of the second semi-truck, explained that he had stopped on the shoulder due to mechanical issues with his vehicle before the accident. “Suddenly, that load came, I guess they couldn’t brake or something and hit the back of my truck,” Black recounted.
The incident caused significant traffic jams on westbound Highway 210, with several lanes closed until Tuesday morning. Authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway and resume normal traffic as soon as possible.
Transporting prefabricated houses requires strict safety measures due to their size and weight. It is crucial that semi-truck drivers are well-trained and that vehicles are in perfect condition to avoid accidents like the one in Pasadena.
