A traffic collision on Interstate 15 (I-15) in San Bernardino County, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 10:49 AM, involving one vehicle that was noted on the right-hand side of the roadway. The collision took place at mile marker 172.90, an area known for its icy curves, which were exacerbated by recent heavy rainfall.
Due to the traffic incident, approximately two of the three lanes were closed, leading to noticeable congestion and delays for drivers during the morning commute. Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene, ensuring the safety of motorists and securing the area. By 11:20 AM, all northbound lanes were shut down to facilitate recovery efforts and to address the hazardous road conditions.
As the situation developed, traffic was further complicated by flooding on the roadway, which slowed vehicles significantly. A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the vehicle involved in the collision. Although the scene was cleared by early afternoon, the two-lane closure remained in effect to allow for ongoing road assessments and repairs.
Motorists traveling through this area are advised to exercise caution and expect delays as conditions improve following the incident.
