Thousands of Aluminum Cans Spill all over Southbound 15 Freeway near the JPOE Facility on Monday

MOUNTAIN PASS, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Aluminum cans were littered across southbound Interstate 15 near the Mountain Pass Joint Port of Entry Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility on Monday.

California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Fire, and assist from Clark County Fire said the crash occurred on the northbound I-15 lanes around 5:10pm June 16, 2025. The driver of the semi tractor-trailer lost control rolled over in the center divider and spilled pallets of cans across all three lanes on the southbound side.
