A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Interstate 210 West and Interstate 215 North in San Bernardino, CA. The incident took place around 4:57 PM when a white Nissan began tailgating another vehicle, causing the driver of that vehicle to lose control. This led to the driver veering off the roadway and ending up approximately 100 feet down an embankment in a nearby golf course area.
Emergency services responded promptly, with units arriving shortly after the incident was reported. The driver of the vehicle that went off the road sustained minor injuries and was transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center for evaluation. Fortunately, the injuries were not severe, but medical attention was necessary.
The white Nissan involved in the incident did not remain at the scene and fled after the collision. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the vehicle or the incident to come forward, as the driver of the Nissan has not yet been identified.
Due to the nature of the accident, the vehicle that veered off the road was deemed undriveable and required towing. A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the vehicle from the golf course area.
Traffic in the vicinity was impacted during the emergency response, although specific details regarding lane closures or delays have not been reported. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as cleanup operations continue.
