A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 215 near the Interstate 15 interchange in San Bernardino, CA. The incident involved three vehicles, including a blue Ford and an unidentified vehicle, resulting in an overturned semi-truck that blocked all lanes of traffic.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene after the collision was reported at approximately 1:08 AM. Initial reports indicated unknown injuries, prompting the dispatch of medical assistance. As emergency responders worked, it became evident that the overturned big rig was causing severe traffic disruptions, leading officials to issue a signal alert for a temporary closure of the area.
Traffic was diverted off the Devore off-ramp, and all lanes remained closed for several hours as recovery efforts were planned. However, due to adverse weather conditions, the recovery of the semi-truck was postponed, with crews indicating they would attempt to upright the vehicle later in the afternoon.
By 4:53 AM, all lanes were reopened after the vehicles were moved to the roadside. Yet, recovery operations for the big rig are expected to require further lane closures later in the day. Motorists are advised to stay cautious and remain updated on traffic conditions in the area.
