A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 15 North near Nisqualli Road in Victorville, CA, involving two semi-trucks. The incident took place around 1:45 AM when one semi-truck overturned, landing on its roof. A second semi-truck subsequently collided with the overturned vehicle, rendering both trucks non-drivable and requiring towing.
The collision caused major traffic disruptions, leading to multiple lane closures. Initially, the third lane was blocked, and as the situation escalated, the second and right-hand lanes were also closed to facilitate emergency response efforts. Debris was reported scattered across the lanes, contributing to traffic congestion and delays for early morning commuters.
Emergency response units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation effectively. A heavy-duty tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the overturned vehicle, which required specialized equipment. The presence of fuel leaking from one of the trucks heightened the urgency of the response.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion in the area as cleanup efforts continue. The traffic incident has significantly impacted the morning commute, and drivers should expect ongoing backups until the scene is cleared.
