One person was hospitalized in the crash of a big rig on the eastbound Pomona (60) Freeway in Montebello Tuesday that snarled traffic for hours.

The truck’s van remained hung up in the freeway’s center divider as of 6 p.m.

The crash was reported at 3:20 p.m. at Garfield Avenue, authorities said.

Rain might have been a factor, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Bishop.

Completion of the investigation and cleanup may well not be completed until the morning, Bishop said.
