A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 38 South in Running Springs, CA, involving two vehicles: a white pickup truck and a white Toyota Tacoma towing a small trailer with an overturned camper. The incident was reported around 11:44 AM when the Tacoma lost its brakes and veered off the roadway, obstructing the middle passing lane.
As a result of this traffic incident, lane closures were implemented, leading to significant traffic disruptions and delays for motorists in the area. Emergency services quickly responded to manage traffic flow and clear the scene. A tow truck was requested to assist in removing the vehicles involved, with an estimated arrival time of approximately 35 minutes.
Motorists traveling through Running Springs should anticipate congestion and possible backups as crews work to resolve the situation. The overturned camper remains attached to the Tacoma, which is fully off the roadway but continues to impact traffic flow. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid delays during the cleanup process.
This traffic collision serves as a reminder of the importance of vehicle maintenance, particularly brake systems, to prevent similar incidents in the future. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
