A serious incident occurred today on Interstate 210 East near Riverside Avenue in Rialto, CA, involving a male pedestrian who jumped in front of a vehicle. The vehicle involved was identified as a white Nissan van, which is suspected to have struck the individual. At least four vehicles were reported to have stopped at the scene to assist.
Emergency services responded quickly, and the situation led to significant traffic disruptions. Authorities implemented hard closures of the second and third lanes of the highway to ensure safety and facilitate the emergency response. The high-occupancy vehicle lane and the first lane were later reopened to help ease congestion.
As emergency personnel arrived, they found the pedestrian down in the lanes, prompting immediate action. The roadway was cleared later that night, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. The status of injuries remains unknown at this time.
Authorities are reminding drivers to remain vigilant and cautious, especially in areas where pedestrians may be present. The California Highway Patrol is committed to ensuring the safety of all road users and will continue to monitor the situation.
