Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Transitions between three freeways have been affected this morning after a large landslide brought large boulders and dirt into lanes. Calls began to pour into California Highway Patrol offices around 8:38 a.m. this morning alerting officials to the problem. There is a full closure of the eastbound I-10 to northbound SR-57 transition road in the San Dimas/Pomona area. "This closure is also affecting the transition from the northbound SR-71 to northbound SR-57," said the CHP, which notes that no cars are trapped under the debris. Caltrans is en route to assist with the closure, which will remain in effect until further notice.
