South El Monte, CA

What a horrific scene over at the 605 Freeway and the 60 Freeway in the area of South El Monte. A big rig and a passenger car collided earlier this morning and has left two women dead, the driver of the truck in the hospital, and the freeway at this interchanged literally shut down for hours.

Here is the minute by minute update of the accident from the California Highway Patrol. The two women killed live in the Riverside area. Their names have not been released. The driver of the big rig has been hospitalized. It was raining at the time of the accident, and that may have triggered the deadly accident.
