FONTANA, San Bernardino County, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 — A man was hurt Wednesday night, October 21, when he was struck during a multi-vehicle crash at Randall Avenue and Live Oak Avenue in Fontana, according to the California Highway Patrol. Emergency crews responded to reports of a collision involving at least two vehicles that left a pedestrian pinned beneath one of them.
The California Highway Patrol said the crash was first reported as a collision with unknown injuries before being updated to reflect that a person was trapped underneath a vehicle. Radio traffic described the man as conscious but with injuries to both legs after reportedly being run over. Crews requested a tow truck to help free him, and fire personnel worked to extinguish a fire at the scene, per dispatch logs.
The collision reportedly involved a blue Honda Civic and a black Mazda sedan, though the CHP has not released a final account of how the vehicles and pedestrian came into contact. An earlier dispatch entry also referenced a black sedan versus a Honda Civic, suggesting some confusion in initial reports before details were refined. A person who called in the crash reported being hit on the passenger side, though it was not immediately clear how that account relates to the pedestrian's injuries.
The crash blocked the intersection for a time, and authorities have not said whether anyone besides the pedestrian was hurt. The California Highway Patrol has not released further details on the man's condition or the cause of the collision, and the incident remains under investigation.
We wish the injured a complete and speedy recovery.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Fontana, CA
If you're involved in or witnessing a pedestrian crash, you should call 911 immediately so paramedics and police can reach the scene quickly. If you're the pedestrian and able to do so, avoid moving until medical personnel evaluate you, since leg and internal injuries aren't always obvious right away. Remember to get the names and contact information of any witnesses, and ask responding officers for the incident or report number so you can follow up later. Even if injuries seem minor at first, a follow-up visit with a doctor in the days afterward is a good idea, since swelling, nerve damage, or fractures can take time to show symptoms.
