A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 215 South near Orange Show Road in San Bernardino, CA, leading to major traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a white big rig that collided with a pole, a dual-trailer truck with part of its trailer extending over the roadway, and another vehicle that caught fire.
As a result of the collision, multiple lanes—between three to five—were closed, causing substantial traffic delays and congestion for morning commuters. Debris from the incident littered all lanes, prompting authorities to implement hard closures along the affected roadway. Traffic management units were dispatched to the scene to oversee lane closures, set up flares, and clear debris to facilitate the safe movement of vehicles.
Recovery units were called to tow the non-drivable vehicles from the scene, further impacting traffic flow. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid significant backups in the area. The incident underscores the need for caution on the roads, particularly during peak travel times. Authorities are working diligently to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
