California’s freeways are vital for daily commutes but are also prone to multi-vehicle collisions, particularly in areas like State Route 60, which experiences heavy traffic. Accidents involving big rigs are particularly hazardous due to the size and weight of these vehicles, which can result in significant damage and severe injuries.
