In the early hours of September 15, 2024, a serious traffic accident occurred on the Northbound 215 Freeway, just south of the 210 Freeway in San Bernardino. At approximately 2:13 AM, California Highway Patrol (CHP), County Fire, and American Medical Response (AMR) units responded to the scene where a white pickup truck collided with the rear of an Amazon trailer.
The impact resulted in the driver being ejected from the vehicle and found lying in the lanes. Emergency responders transported the individual to a nearby hospital with injuries, the severity of which remains unknown at this time.
The pickup truck was severely damaged in the collision. Notably, this incident bears a striking resemblance to another fatal crash that occurred only 2 miles north, where three people lost their lives after their vehicle struck the rear of a semi-trailer.
All northbound lanes were temporarily closed as CHP and Cal-Trans crews worked to clear debris and restore traffic flow. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this accident.
