The crash was reported at about 2:44pm November 6, 2023 on northbound Interstate 15 about a mile before the Oak Hill Road exit. California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino County Fire Department crews responded to the collision involving a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse and a light blue semi.
According to a witness, the Mitsubishi Eclipse ran out of gas and came to a stop in the #4 lane. The semi driver traveling up the hill didn’t see the car and couldn’t stop in time. The impact sent the car to the #2 lane with major rear-end damage and the semi to the right lanes blocking the #4 and the slow lane of traffic. The semi sustained major damage to the front-end.
The driver of the car and semi were uninjured in the collision.
Traffic was backup at one point all the way down to before Sierra Avenue. The back up spanned about 15 mile backup as of 5pm.
