A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 at the Valley Boulevard off-ramp in Fontana, CA, today at approximately 9:47 PM. The incident involved a gray Kia sedan and a Toyota Corolla, with the Corolla sustaining damage and blocking the roadway.
Emergency services responded quickly, arriving on the scene by 10:10 PM to assess the situation. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries. However, the Toyota Corolla was later confirmed to be stolen, raising concerns about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Witnesses reported that two individuals exited the damaged Toyota Corolla and entered a Honda Pilot, which left the scene before authorities could make contact. This development has prompted further investigation into the collision and the individuals involved.
The gray Kia sedan was marked for towing due to the damage it sustained during the collision.

The off-ramp was temporarily closed to facilitate the towing process and ensure the safety of all involved.
By 10:25 PM, the off-ramp was reopened, although emergency personnel remained on-site to complete their investigation. The Fontana Police Department was notified about the stolen vehicle, and they have since entered the Toyota Corolla into their system as stolen, indicating that recovery efforts will be initiated.
