A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on State Route 259 North in San Bernardino, CA, involving at least three vehicles, including a white Audi A4. The incident began when reports indicated that the white Audi was blocking the slow lane, prompting emergency services to respond quickly to the scene.
At approximately 3:01 AM, the California Highway Patrol received notifications about the white Audi obstructing traffic. Shortly thereafter, it was confirmed that debris was present in all lanes, and there was a possibility that one of the vehicles had impacted a barrier. By 3:12 AM, all lanes on State Route 259 North were completely blocked due to the collision.
Emergency services, including multiple units from the California Highway Patrol and medical personnel, arrived promptly to assess the situation. Fortunately, no injuries were reported at the scene. However, witnesses noted that one individual appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The lack of injuries was a relief, given the extent of the incident.
Due to the severity of the collision, all vehicles involved were rendered undriveable and required towing from the scene. Tow trucks were requested as the situation unfolded, with the first request made shortly after the initial reports. By 4:05 AM, tow trucks were en route to assist in clearing the roadway.
As a result of the collision, traffic was significantly impacted, with delays expected as emergency services worked to clear the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow. Drivers in the area were advised to seek alternate routes until the situation was resolved.
