The storm forced multiple lane closures for northbound Interstate 15 just before Cleghorn Road exit around 5:49am Tuesday January 7, 2025. The crash reported to be a 3-vehicle collision. The two left lanes were blocked for over 30 minutes.  

About 6:19am a solo vehicle crash on southbound I-15 at the I-215 Freeway blocking the slow lane.

About 7am a disabled semi tractor-trailer was broken down in the slow lane just after the Oak Hill Rd. exit.

Chain restrictions just after 6am on Highway 2. The restrictions apply to all vehicle to have chains on Hwy 2.

There were more minor collisions and spinout to report and no major injuries were reported in all the incidents.

Slow down and drive according to the weather conditions. This is especially important in the Cajon Pass and on Interstate 15 where drivers can find themselves losing control very quickly if they don’t Slow Down.
