Two-Vehicle Crash Leaves Two Injured, Briefly Ties Up Traffic In The Cajon Pass Sunday Afternoon

CAJON PASS, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A two-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 15 left two people injured this afternoon and traffic briefly tied up in the Cajon Pass.

California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to the traffic crash involving a black GMC Sierra pickup truck and a black Land Rover Range Rover SUV. The crash took place about 12:33pm September 11, 2022 on southbound I-15 about two miles before the Highway 138 exit.

According to CHP Traffic Log, the Land Rover was possibly speeding prior to the collision with the GMC pickup at high speeds. For unknow reasons this caused the Land Rover to lose control, colliding into the path of the GMC pickup truck. The impact of the collision caused the Land Rover to roll over multiple times, landing on the embankment with at least one person possibly ejected from the vehicle.

Rescue crews arrived on scene and reported they needed two ambulances at the scene. One patient that was possibly ejected was transported with major injuries and the other person was transported with minor injuries which was stated on the CHP traffic log. Both were transported by ground ambulances to a nearby hospital.
