A multi-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on Interstate 15 North near Main Street in Hesperia, CA, involving at least three vehicles: a black Buick, a gray Hyundai sedan, and a semi-truck. The incident began around 1:50 AM when the black Buick collided with traffic cones, leading to a chain reaction of events.
Following the initial collision, a northbound vehicle struck an arrowboard, which then hit a semi-truck. Additionally, a gray Hyundai sedan collided with a sign. One individual in a silver Hyundai Elan sustained a serious injury, resulting in an amputated finger. Despite this injury, the incident was classified as a non-injury collision overall.
Emergency services responded promptly, arriving shortly after the initial reports. An ambulance was requested for the individual with the amputated finger, and emergency units worked efficiently to manage the situation. By 3:04 AM, all southbound lanes were cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
The vehicles involved were either drivable or towed from the scene, although specific details regarding their conditions were not provided. Fortunately, no further complications arose from the incident, and traffic was restored without significant delays.
This incident underscores the importance of road safety and the potential hazards posed by traffic cones and other road equipment. Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant and exercise caution when navigating construction zones or areas with traffic control devices.
