RIALTO, San Bernardino County, Calif., Nov. 13, 2026 — A silver sedan and a black Tesla Cybertruck collided on eastbound Interstate 10 near Riverside Avenue on Thursday afternoon, November 12, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 2 p.m. in the eastbound lanes west of Riverside Avenue. The airbags were deployed in at least one vehicle, which came to rest blocking the middle lanes, and medical personnel were requested to the scene. One occupant reportedly remained inside a vehicle as crews worked the scene, though the extent of any injuries has not been confirmed so far.
The CHP describes the incident as a possible misdemeanor hit-and-run, noting the Cybertruck involved had not been confirmed to have stopped or made contact with authorities afterward. No other vehicles were reported involved. A tow truck was requested to clear the vehicles, and the lanes were blocked for a period while crews worked to clear the roadway, officials said. The California Highway Patrol's Freeway Service Patrol later closed out its response to the scene.
The collision remains under investigation. No arrests or citations had been reported as of Thursday afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steps should someone take after being involved in a hit-and-run crash?
Drivers should move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and report as many details as they can, such as a license plate or vehicle description, to help investigators identify the other party.
What injuries commonly result from highway collisions like this one?
Crashes involving airbag deployment frequently cause injuries such as bruising, whiplash, or cuts from broken glass, though the severity varies widely depending on speed and impact angle.
What usually causes multi-vehicle crashes on busy freeways?
Common factors include following too closely, distracted driving, sudden lane changes, and speed differences between vehicles, though the specific cause of any crash is determined only after investigators review the evidence.
Why does speed matter so much in crash outcomes?
Higher speeds increase the distance needed to stop and the energy released on impact, which generally makes injuries more severe and vehicles harder to control.
