A rider was injured following a multi-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle near Oak Hills, San Bernardino County, on Saturday morning, May 18, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the traffic incident occurred at around 7:46 a.m. along southbound Interstate 15, south of Oak Hill Road.
Several vehicles were involved in the crash, including a Toyota Tacoma with a trailer, a black Kia Soul, and a motorcycle. Initial reports suggested that the accident happened in heavy fog, severely reducing motorists’ visibility on the road. The fog also reportedly made rescue and cleanup efforts much harder.
A motorcyclist was taken to a nearby hospital after sustaining an undefined injury. The victim’s name, age, and place of origin were not disclosed. There are no other injuries reported at this time.
Other motorists were forced to take alternative routes as the authorities investigated and cleared up the scene. A few hours later, all southbound lanes of I-15 around the area reopened, but traffic allegedly remained jammed.
CHP believes weather conditions played a huge role in the accident. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Additional information was not immediately provided.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
