A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 215 (I-215) near the Mill Street off-ramp in San Bernardino, CA. The incident took place around 5:52 PM and involved a Tesla Model 3 and two semi-trucks. The Tesla was blocking the off-ramp, prompting a swift response from emergency services to manage the situation.
Upon arrival, emergency units began to control the scene and facilitate the relocation of the Tesla to the right-hand side of the road. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Tesla, which was successfully completed by approximately 6:04 PM. This action allowed both lanes to reopen shortly thereafter.
However, the initial blockage caused significant traffic delays and congestion in the area, with motorists experiencing backups as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. The presence of multiple emergency service units ensured that traffic flow could be restored as quickly as possible. By around 6:26 PM, the tow truck arrived, further aiding in the swift resolution of the incident.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area, as residual traffic impacts may linger following the incident.
