Barstow, CA (September 23, 2024) – A significant traffic collision occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 15 at the Yates Well Road offramp, leading to a complex emergency response. At approximately 5:36 a.m., reports indicated a collision involving a semi-truck and another vehicle, with the semi-truck ending up on its side in a ditch.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene to find that the semi-truck was not only overturned but also caught fire, prompting immediate action to extinguish the flames. Witnesses reported seeing debris scattered across the lanes, which further complicated the situation and led to traffic delays in the area.
As the incident unfolded, it was confirmed that two individuals sustained minor injuries as a result of the collision. They were treated at the scene before being transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
Authorities implemented a hard closure of the third lane on the northbound side of the interstate to facilitate the emergency response and clear the wreckage. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the cause of the fire and the collision itself.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident, and we hope for a swift recovery for the injured parties.
