A traffic collision involving two semi-trucks occurred today on Interstate 15 South near Outlet Center Drive in Barstow, CA, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute. The incident was reported around 7:07 AM and involved one semi-truck with an attached trailer, while the other truck was confirmed to be driveable.
Debris and dirt from one of the trucks spilled onto the roadway, leading to lane closures and traffic congestion.
