Police are still investigating a multi-vehicle collision on Route 66 Wednesday.
Several occupants in the three vehicles involved were transported to area hospitals, with one occupant being transported to County/USC Medical Center for a head injury, said Sgt. Chris Stabio of Glendora Police.
Police were dispatched to the crash at 9:46 a.m.
For reasons unknown, a pickup truck traveling eastbound on Route 66 near Compromise Line Road struck the railroad bridge abutment and crossed the center median. A westbound SUV overturned when the driver swerved to avoid the pickup truck, Stabio said.
