Westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway near Pomona were shut down Saturday afternoon as a bomb squad investigated the area.
The closure began sometime before 1:30 p.m. on the 60 Freeway near Garey Avenue, by the 71 Freeway interchange. The lanes will be closed until further notice, the California Highway Patrol said.
Aerial footage from NewsChopper 4 showed a bomb squad truck in the middle of the freeway and several law enforcement officials near it. Not too far away, a tactical officer and robot were seen investigating near the split of the freeway.
It is unclear what prompted the response.
