A traffic collision occurred today on the Highland On-Ramp to Northbound Interstate 215 (I-215) in San Bernardino, CA, involving one vehicle, a white Mazda sedan. The incident took place around 1:14 AM when the vehicle crashed into the right-hand side of the roadway and a wall.
Emergency responders, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Due to the collision, temporary lane closures were implemented on the freeway ramp to ensure safety while the vehicle was being removed. This led to some delays for motorists navigating the area, as traffic flow was impacted during the response efforts.
By approximately 2:40 AM, the tow service was requested to assist in the removal of the vehicle, but complications regarding funding for the tow were noted, which may have prolonged the situation. CHP coordinated with the tow operator to control the scene and facilitate the safe removal of the vehicle, ensuring minimal disruption to traffic.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area, as residual delays may still be experienced. This incident underscores the importance of prompt emergency response and effective traffic management in maintaining safety on California's busy roadways.
