UPDATE: Grand Avenue to Remain Closed For Hours

The crash on the westbound state Route 60, near Grand Avenue, was reported at 10:14 a.m.; the wreck was not cleared until mid-afternoon.

Update 5:21 p.m.:

Though most of the westbound SR 60 was reopened midafternoon Friday, the Grand Avenue entrance ramp to the freeway was shut and was to remain so at least until 8:30 p.m., the CHP reported.

A crash involving two big rigs on the westbound state Route 60 in Diamond Bar Friday caused a large oil spill and snarled traffic most of the day, the CHP reported.

The crash near Grand Avenue was reported at 10:14 a.m.; there was still one freeway lane shut at 3 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

About 75 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from one of the rigs -- one rig was a gravel hauler, the CHP reported.

No injuries were reported.

The fuel did not go into the drains, just traveled less than a half-mile west of the crash, the CHP reported.

A SigAlert was issued for about 2.5 hours; a far right lane remained closed Friday afternoon, just as rush hour was due to begin.

The 57/60 transition is a sick joke. Whoever designed it belongs in jail.

"Just as rush hour was to begin", of course, multiple lane closures always make the commute more tolerable. And what better place than an already F-ed up interchange?

At least we should let people sleep on the weekends! I remember the last memorial weekend, whenRead More Susan Park was full of baseball banging noises starting at 6:30 am and then screaming and kicking at 7 am. Can Walnut Counsel fix that non-sense??

CP is right, the Walnut Council should be working on REAL quality of life issues, even though theyRead More aren't so glamorous. I'd like to see this issue solved/leaf blowers BANNED verses the Council putting in another red-light camera or parking meters to extort money from Mt. Sac students.

During the hotter months, the days are longer, people try to do outdoor work really early or reallyRead More late since it's cooler. What about all the barking noise created when people walk their dogs really early or really late? These people usually have their favorite spots and they just stand there forever while all the dogs in the street are going crazy. Shouldn't this be banned too?

Hello Me. Sure. I have a press release to post from the district on some Nogales Gates MillenniumRead More scholars. I just haven't had a chance to post yet. I have a little more time because Nogales hasn't had its graduation yet while DB, DR, and WHS all have had theirs. You can also use this announcement section to post stuff happening at Nogales that you want the community to know about on Patch.

Why post this book as if it is NEWS? The headline read as if it were actual news, not a bookRead More review. Shouldn't there be a separate section for books and such?
Patricia Gligor May 28, 2013 at 02:54 pm
I agree but, if there is, I couldn't find it. And, actually, it isn't a book review; it's a bookRead More blurb for the first novel in my Malone mystery series.
