The accident happened early Sunday morning while he was exiting the freeway. He struck the back side of a fire truck, which was stopped on the shoulder of the off ramp after attending to an earlier accident. Even though the truck had its emergency flashing lights on, the man still crashed into it, causing a firefighter to sustain minor injuries.

A 32-year old San Bernardino man lost control of his vehicle the other morning on Interstate 15 in Hesperia, causing it to drift into the center divider then cross several lanes – it ended up crashing into a big-rig. According to reports, the driver was speeding.

A man turning left onto an onramp to the northbound Interstate 15 in Victorville the other morning was struck by a woman who did not stop for a red light. The impact caused the man’s vehicle to split in two. Both drivers were taken to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Victorville Police are investigating the accident, but it appears that the woman who ran the red light is at fault. According to California Vehicle Code Section 21453(a), “A driver facing a circular red signal shall stop at the limit line before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication to proceed is shown.”

Las Vegas, a city visited by millions of people every year is close to San Bernardino County.
The fastest way to get to Las Vegas from San Bernardino is on Interstate 15; however, it is one of the most dangerous and busiest roads in the country.

A 55-year old Caltrans truck driver attempting to enter traffic from the right shoulder on Interstate 15 in Victorville the other afternoon was almost hit by a big-rig. The big-rig swerved to avoid hitting the smaller truck and instead sideswiped another vehicle.
The sideswiped vehicle managed to pull off the freeway and onto the right shoulder. The driver of the big-rig lost control and hit a Cal Fire van and then an unoccupied Caltrans pickup truck that was on the right shoulder. The big-rig proceeded off the freeway and ended up crashing through the front door of a furniture store.
Several people were taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the chain-reaction accident to determine how it happened. If you are injured in a freeway accident, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the case, make sure the at-fault driver is held liable, and seek compensation for your injuries and expenses.

California Highway Patrol officers reported to the scene on the southbound side of Interstate 15 in Hesperia after a vehicle crashed into a big-rig.
It is suspected that the man had been drinking. He died at the scene.
California Vehicle Code Sections 23152 (a) and (b) state, “It is a misdemeanor to drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and it is a misdemeanor to drive with .08% or more of alcohol in your blood.” California law says that a defendant charged with drinking and driving can be convicted of both offenses.
If you or someone you know is injured or killed by a drunk driver, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the facts of your case and explain your rights and options to you.
