SAN BERNARDINO, CA – A significant traffic backup happened on the southbound 215 Freeway Monday morning following a crash involving a tractor-trailer.
The accident took place around 7:40 a.m. on February 10, near the University Parkway Exit, several miles from the 15 Freeway interchange.
Reports indicate that a white sedan and the semi-truck collided, causing the truck to veer into the center divider. The impact sent the vehicle through multiple guardrails, knocking over trees that obstructed several lanes.
