A hit-and-run incident occurred today on Interstate 15 South near Oakie Flat in San Bernardino, California. The incident was reported at approximately 1:05 PM when the reporting party (RP) indicated that her vehicle was initially not drivable. However, it was later confirmed that the vehicle was drivable, although the RP expressed concerns about its location on the narrow roadside.
The RP, along with her three-year-old son, exited the vehicle for safety and moved to a wider area of the roadside. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with the incident. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene to assess the situation and provide assistance.
Initially, the RP requested a tow truck, believing her vehicle was in a precarious position. However, she later clarified that she preferred to remain on the roadside rather than exit at the next available exit. By 1:10 PM, it was confirmed that the vehicle was drivable, but the RP opted to stay put for the time being.
As the situation unfolded, additional requests for a tow truck were made. The RP and her son were eventually able to move to a safer location within a turnout. The incident did not result in significant traffic disruptions, but motorists in the area were advised to remain cautious.
This incident underscores the importance of safety and quick decision-making in unexpected situations on the road.
