Fontana, CA (June 14, 2026) – A hit-and-run involving at least two vehicles left two people hurt early Saturday, June 13, along westbound Interstate 10 east of Citrus Avenue in Fontana.
According to CHP dispatch records, the call came in shortly after 1:07 a.m. Initial reports indicated a Toyota continued westbound while another vehicle remained on the left shoulder. A gray sedan or SUV was reported facing sideways with significant damage in the center divider, and another gray sedan was blocking the No. 1 lane. Records also noted that two people were outside their vehicles following the crash.
As emergency units worked at the site, a Kia was reported blocking a traffic lane. By around 1:17 a.m., all westbound lanes had been stopped while crews managed the roadway and assisted those involved. Information regarding the extent of the injuries and the identities of the people involved was not immediately released. Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the hit-and-run.
Our thoughts are with those who were hurt and their families during recovery.
What Happens During a Hit-and-Run Investigation?
Hit-and-run cases usually require investigators to gather information from several sources to identify the driver who left the roadway. Early evidence may include witness statements, vehicle descriptions, photographs, roadway debris, and surveillance footage from nearby businesses or traffic cameras.
Damage patterns on the vehicles involved can also help reconstruct what occurred. In some cases, parts left behind by a fleeing vehicle may provide clues about its make, model, or year. Investigators may also review license plate information, electronic records, and other available evidence to determine who was behind the wheel.
Because information is often limited during the first few hours after a hit-and-run, additional details may emerge as evidence is reviewed and new leads are developed.
