Bloomington, CA (June 23, 2025) – A serious crash involving a white SUV and a semi-truck occurred Monday morning on eastbound I-10 just east of Cedar Ave, resulting in injuries and significant traffic disruption in the San Bernardino County area. The collision was reported at approximately 9:20 a.m.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the white SUV reportedly collided with the rear of a semi-truck and came to rest facing the wrong way in one of the freeway’s middle lanes. A good Samaritan in a gray Chrysler van stopped to assist one of the drivers and remained on the scene. At least one person was injured and required medical attention, although the full extent of injuries has not yet been released.
Emergency responders temporarily stopped all eastbound lanes as they worked to treat the injured, manage traffic, and investigate the crash. The semi-truck pulled to the right shoulder following the incident, while the SUV remained in a live traffic lane until it was cleared. Tow services from Pepe’s Towing responded to remove the disabled vehicle.
There were early indications that two drivers involved in the crash may have fled the scene together, adding a hit-and-run element to the ongoing investigation. CHP continues to review witness accounts and available surveillance to determine the full sequence of events and identify all involved parties.
We extend our best wishes for a full recovery to those injured in this crash.
Rear-End Collisions and Freeway Hazards in San Bernardino County
The crash on I-10 near Cedar Ave underscores the risks of rear-end collisions involving passenger vehicles and semi-trucks—particularly on fast-moving freeway corridors like those in San Bernardino County. These incidents can be especially dangerous when a smaller vehicle impacts a large commercial rig, often resulting in substantial injuries and highway blockages.
Morning traffic conditions increase the likelihood of such collisions as vehicle density rises and driver alertness varies. In this case, the SUV ended up facing the wrong direction—a clear indication of the force involved in the crash. Blocking lanes in a high-speed environment like I-10 creates added danger for everyone on the roadway, including those stopping to help.
For victims, the aftermath of a freeway crash may involve medical treatment, insurance hurdles, and legal challenges—especially when hit-and-run behavior is suspected. Accessing professional support quickly can help ensure that evidence is preserved and recovery options are protected.
Local and state officials continue to monitor crash patterns along I-10, with efforts aimed at improving signage, visibility, and enforcement. However, safe driving habits and defensive awareness remain critical—particularly around large trucks and during high-volume periods.
