Ontario, CA (August 27, 2026) – A motorcyclist was hurt in a two-vehicle accident on Wednesday morning on northbound I-15 near SR 60.
The California Highway Patrol record shows a white Ford truck and a motorcycle were involved. A witness reported that the truck dragged the motorcycle and rider for about 80 feet.
The rider was found sitting against the center divider wall and was later taken to a local hospital for treatment. The dispatch record did not provide further information about the rider’s injuries.
A tow was requested for the motorcycle, and the vehicles were reported within the center divider. Additional details about the wreck, including the circumstances leading to it, were not immediately available. The circumstances surrounding the accident are still being reviewed as the investigation moves forward.
We hope the injured rider makes a full recovery.
How Can Motorcycle and Truck Crashes Cause Serious Injuries?
Motorcycles offer less physical protection than larger vehicles, so riders can face greater risks during traffic collisions. A motorcycle rider can be thrown from the bike, struck by another vehicle, or forced against a fixed object.
The size and weight difference between a truck and motorcycle can also affect the forces involved. Even at moderate speeds, a rider may experience serious harm if the motorcycle is dragged or pushed across the roadway.
Protective equipment such as helmets, jackets, gloves, and sturdy footwear can reduce some injuries, although no gear can prevent all harm. Safe following distances, careful lane changes, proper signaling, and attention to blind spots can help reduce the chance of a motorcycle and truck crash.
