FONTANA, San Bernardino County, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 — A motorcyclist suffered major injuries on Tuesday night, October 27, in a collision with an SUV on eastbound Interstate 210 near the Interstate 15 interchange in Fontana, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported around 10:29 p.m. near the I-210 and I-15 connector, and involved a white GMC Denali and a motorcycle. Dispatch notes describe the rider down in the roadway shortly after the collision, with the number one lane blocked. The CHP said the rider was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for what was described as major injuries.
Traffic cameras reportedly showed backups extending into the southbound side of the 210 near Beech Avenue, with the CHP noting the high-occupancy vehicle lane blocked by the delays. A tow truck was requested to clear the motorcycle from the scene, though radio traffic indicated the tow operator was delayed by the surrounding congestion.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by authorities. We hope those who were hurt recover quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a rider do immediately after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, move to a safe location away from traffic, call 911, and avoid removing protective gear or a helmet unless necessary, since doing so can worsen certain injuries. Seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, as some, like internal or head trauma, are not immediately obvious.
Are motorcycle crashes more likely to happen at intersections or interchanges?
Many motorcycle collisions occur where traffic merges or changes lanes, such as freeway interchanges, because visibility and reaction time are reduced in those areas. Riders and drivers alike are urged to use extra caution near on-ramps and connector lanes.
Does road surface condition affect motorcycle safety?
Yes. Uneven pavement, debris, or wet roads can reduce a motorcycle's traction more severely than they affect a car, making stability and braking distance harder to manage, especially in heavy traffic.
What gear helps reduce injury severity for motorcyclists?
A DOT-approved helmet, abrasion-resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are commonly recommended to reduce the severity of injuries in a crash.
