Car Crashes Into Light Pole, Sparking Small Brush Fire On The 215 Interchange

SAN BERNARDINO, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> The California Highway Patrol and the City of Colton Fire Department responded to a single vehicle crash on Saturday, June 25, 2022.

According to CHP, the car crash was on the transition ramp from southbound Interstate 215 to eastbound I-10 at 3:44pm Saturday afternoon. The solo vehicle that hit the light pole was a black sedan maybe a black Lexus.

The vehicle started to catch fire before CHP and firefighters were on the scene. They had to temporarily shut down the transition ramp and two right lanes on I-215 while they worked on getting the vehicle fire and a small brush fire put out.

Traffic backedup quickly and firefighters had the fire out in about a hour. Everybody did escape the vehicle before it became fully engulfed. No injuries were reported at the scene. The cause of the crash is unknown at this time.
