A traffic collision on Interstate 210 West near the Interstate 215 North interchange in San Bernardino, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a MAR SUV that was found overturned at the bottom of a ravine and another solo vehicle that required towing. Both vehicles were non-drivable at the scene, prompting the response of emergency services for traffic management and scene control.
As a result of the collision, lane closures and restrictions were implemented near the transition area by the guard rail, leading to delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area. Emergency response teams worked diligently to manage the situation, with multiple units assigned to ensure safety and facilitate the towing of the vehicles involved.
Traffic backups were reported as drivers navigated around the scene, impacting the flow of traffic on both Interstate 210 and Interstate 215. Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles, with one requiring specialized equipment for safe extraction. The situation is expected to improve as the vehicles are cleared and normal traffic patterns resume.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible and to remain cautious while traveling through the affected area.
