A multi-vehicle collision involving three vehicles—a white Nissan Frontier, an 18-wheeler semi-truck, and a recreational vehicle (RV)—occurred today in San Dimas, California. The incident took place around 12:15 PM on the northbound lanes of State Route 57, near the interchange with State Route 210 East.

The collision resulted in the Nissan Frontier becoming stuck under the semi-truck, blocking multiple lanes of traffic. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries. However, the Nissan Frontier was unable to move and required a tow truck for removal.

Emergency services responded quickly, with units from the California Highway Patrol and the local fire department arriving at the scene shortly after the incident was reported. The first emergency unit arrived at approximately 12:27 PM. Upon assessment, responders noted that the semi-truck was leaking fluids, prompting the fire department to manage the situation safely.

Traffic was significantly affected as the collision obstructed the second and third lanes of the northbound route, leading to delays for motorists. The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. A tow truck was requested to assist in removing the vehicles involved, and updates on the tow truck’s estimated arrival were communicated to the responding units.

As of now, the situation has been resolved, and the vehicles have been successfully towed from the scene. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as cleanup operations conclude.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially when sharing the road with larger vehicles. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor traffic conditions and encourages drivers to stay alert and drive responsibly.
