Gold Line Remains shut down after Thursday’s Big Rig accident on 210

At 12:57 p.m. Thursday two trucks collided on 210 East at Allen, both catching fire but were quickly extinguished by Pasadena Fire. One overturned and blocked several lanes. One driver was transported to hospital with moderate injuries. The second truck towing a tractor landed on center median gold Line tracks knocking down an energized power tower and wires. That driver sustained minor injuries. Fortunately no other vehicles involved and drivers escaped with non-life threatening injuries. The Gold Line is shut-down for undetermined amount of time to repair wires, tracks, etc. Passengers were bused from Lake Ave. to Sierra Madre Villa Station.
