Car carrier careens off 60 Freeway and into Ford dealership’s lot

A big-rig car carrier filled with new vehicles crashed into a car dealership in the City of Industry on Friday night after blowing a tire and careening off the westbound 60 freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP Officer Patrick Kimball said paramedics responded to the scene but the driver did not need to be taken to a hospital.

The crash occurred at the Puente Hills Ford dealership, just off the right shoulder of the freeway near Azusa Avenue, Kimball said. Several cars parked in the dealership’s lot were damaged by the car carrier.
