A large water truck experienced a blowout and collided with the center divider on State Route 259 South near Highland in San Bernardino, CA, today at approximately 2:37 PM. The truck, which was hauling rocks, lost a tire and veered into the divider. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported at this time.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where it was determined that the truck was undriveable and required towing.
