A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound Interstate 15 at Blue Cut in San Bernardino, California. The incident involved a white Toyota C-HR and a white Volkswagen Jetta, with no injuries reported.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), responded quickly to the scene. The Toyota C-HR was confirmed to be drivable despite sustaining some damage. However, the status of the Volkswagen Jetta remained unclear due to the driver's evasive actions. Reports indicated that the driver of the Jetta was uncooperative, complicating the assessment of the situation by emergency personnel.
The collision was reported around 6:28 AM, with both vehicles coming to a stop in the carpool lane. By 6:29 AM, it was established that the Toyota C-HR could still be driven. Despite multiple attempts to make contact with the driver of the Volkswagen Jetta, the driver reportedly pulled away from the scene when approached by FSP personnel.
Fortunately, the situation was resolved without the need for towing either vehicle. The involved parties exchanged information, allowing them to manage the aftermath of the incident independently. By approximately 7:14 AM, the scene was cleared, and traffic flow was restored.
Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious while navigating the southbound Interstate 15, especially near Blue Cut, as emergency services worked to manage the situation. The lack of injuries and the quick resolution of the incident minimized the impact on traffic.
