A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 215 South near Washington Street in Colton, CA, involving four vehicles, including a giant RV, a white Scion TC, a white Subaru sedan, and another vehicle. The RV sustained significant roof damage, making it non-drivable and necessitating towing. The Scion TC lost control and went off the roadway, crashing through a chain-link fence into a ravine.
Due to the vehicles being off the roadway, traffic was significantly impacted, leading to lane closures and delays for motorists during the afternoon commute. California Highway Patrol (CHP) units responded promptly to manage the scene and coordinate towing services. Officers worked to control traffic flow and ensure the safe removal of the vehicles involved in the incident.
As a result of the traffic incident, drivers experienced congestion and were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the backup. CHP units remained on-site to facilitate the clearing of the roadway and restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
Motorists traveling through Colton, CA, on Interstate 215 South should remain vigilant and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continue following this traffic collision.
