A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a white Chevrolet Camaro and a semi-truck, occurred early this morning at the intersection of Kendall Drive and Cajon Boulevard in San Bernardino, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 3:29 AM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.
The driver of the Camaro reported that their vehicle was not drivable following the collision, while the semi-truck was blocking both lanes due to a flat tire. At 3:31 AM, the Camaro driver requested a tow for their vehicle. Emergency units were dispatched shortly after and arrived at the scene by 4:17 AM to manage the situation.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. However, a dispute arose between the drivers regarding the cause of the incident, with the semi-truck driver accusing the Camaro driver of falling asleep at the wheel. This disagreement was noted at 3:57 AM, illustrating the emotional stress often associated with traffic incidents.
The Chevrolet Camaro was ultimately towed from the scene, while the semi-truck remained immobilized due to its flat tire. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of both vehicles, ensuring that the roadway could be cleared for traffic. By 3:38 AM, the situation was reported as resolved, although the lanes were temporarily blocked during the incident.
Motorists in the area experienced some delays as emergency units worked to clear the scene. The California Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision to determine the exact cause.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when fatigue can impair judgment. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and avoid distractions to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
