ONTARIO, San Bernardino County, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 — Two vehicles collided Tuesday afternoon, October 20, near Archibald Avenue and East 4th Street in Ontario, according to the California Highway Patrol. Possible injuries were reported at the scene, the agency said.
A white Ford F150 and a white SUV collided just north of the intersection, CHP radio traffic indicated. The pickup was reportedly a state vehicle, operated by a California Department of Insurance employee, and Ontario police requested CHP respond to handle the state-vehicle investigation.
Ontario Police Department officers and fire crews were on scene, and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office was also notified, radio logs show. The crash blocked part of Archibald Avenue and was treated as a traffic hazard while crews worked the scene. A tow truck was later called to clear at least one of the vehicles.
The extent of any injuries has not been released. The circumstances of the crash, including who may have been at fault, remain under investigation.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most traffic accidents happen?
A large share of crashes occur at or near intersections, where turning movements and cross traffic create more opportunities for drivers to misjudge gaps or run a signal.
What injuries are most common in car accidents?
Neck and back strain, concussions, and bruising from seatbelts or airbags are common even in lower-speed collisions. Some injuries don't show symptoms right away, so a medical check after any crash is a good idea.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Ontario, CA
If you're involved in a crash in Ontario, stay at the scene and make sure everyone involved gets checked out, even if injuries seem minor at first. Make sure to get a copy of the police report once it's available, and keep records of any medical visits or vehicle repairs that follow. If a government or commercial vehicle was involved, note that on scene, since claims involving public agencies often follow a different process than a standard insurance claim.
