A serious traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 15 South near Jurupa Avenue in Ontario, California, involving two vehicles: a semi-truck and a white pickup truck. The incident was reported at approximately 8:53 PM when the pickup truck went down an embankment, raising concerns about possible ejections of passengers.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and while the situation was serious, the exact nature of any injuries remains unknown. Both vehicles were located on the right-hand shoulder of the highway, with the pickup truck having rolled down the embankment adjacent to Rochester Street.
A tow truck was requested to assist in removing the vehicles involved. Reports indicated that there were no parties obstructing the roadway, allowing for a more efficient response. By 9:10 PM, it was confirmed that one individual was not involved in the collision, and emergency units continued to assess the situation.
Authorities were alerted to the possibility of two other passengers who may have been ejected from the pickup truck, prompting a request for aerial support to conduct a flyover of the area. As of now, the area has been cleared by emergency units, and traffic is expected to resume normal flow soon.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling in the vicinity as cleanup operations conclude.
