San Bernardino, CA (December 8, 2024) – Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene of a two-vehicle collision on the eastbound State Route 60 at Azusa Avenue, located just east of Azusa, at approximately 4:18 AM. The collision involved a grey Honda and a grey truck, both of which sustained significant damage. Both vehicles ended up on the right shoulder, with one of the vehicles reportedly having crashed into a retaining wall.
Initial reports indicated that the collision caused significant traffic disruptions, with all lanes of the freeway stopped. Fire Department and law enforcement units quickly responded to secure the scene and assist the injured parties. It was confirmed that there were two parties involved, including an older male driver in the Honda and two other individuals from the truck.
Authorities requested multiple tow trucks, including Bob and Dave’s Tow, Hadley’s Tow, and Pepes Tow, to remove the wrecked vehicles from the scene. The collision caused a blockage of the off-ramp, which led to significant delays for other drivers. Fortunately, the fire department cleared the scene by 5:44 AM, and the lanes were reopened after the vehicles were towed and the area was made safe.
We wish those hurt a rapid recovery.
