LUDLOW, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Two people were airlifted to a trauma center following a rollover crash on Interstate 40 Saturday morning that brought first responders racing to the scene.
It happened about 10:44am Saturday, June 7, 2025, in the westbound lanes of I-40 about 10 miles from the town of Ludlow, according to San Bernardino County Fire and Rescue officials.
When rescue crews arrived, they were met with a chaotic scene. A white Dodge Ram pickup truck with major damage from rolling over multiple time, and two people and a dog trapped inside.
Firefighters worked quickly to extricate the victims while EMS coordinated a landing zone for two Mercy Air helicopters.
