Chain Reaction Collision Snarls Traffic On The 710 Freeway
By Jackawa Jackson | March 10, 2010
Just after 1:00 pm on the afternoon of March 10, 2010, Long Beach Fire Department units were called to the northbound 710 freeway north of PCH to a 4-vehicle pileup. Engine 13 arrived on scene to find a Coca Cola van had impacted the rear of a Cal Trans van, which, in turn collided, with the rear of two other vehicles including a larger Cal Trans truck and an SUV. A total of 6 people were injured including 2 with moderate injuries and 4 with minor injuries. Four of these were Cal Trans workers. The crew from Truck 1 used the Jaws of Life to cut the driver of the Cal Trans van from the wreckage of his vehicle. All but one of the 6 patients were transported to local hospitals. 2 of the northbound lanes of traffic were shut down for a period of time. The cause of this accident is currently under investigation. A total of 22 firefighters responded to this incident.
