CAJON PASS, San Bernardino County, Calif., Nov. 9, 2026 — A multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 15 South near the escape ramp left at least one person trapped on Sunday morning, November 8, according to the California Highway Patrol. One vehicle rolled over during the crash, the agency's traffic log shows.
The collision was first reported as involving a black SUV and a gray pickup truck. The log was later updated to describe four vehicles, a black SUV, a gray truck, a black Scion and a white sedan, all involved in the crash near the escape ramp between that location and Highway 138. One gray SUV reportedly struck the center divider, flipped over and landed back on its wheels, coming to rest blocking the number 3 lane.
A woman was reported trapped inside a black Chevrolet Equinox in the number 1 lane. San Bernardino County Fire was requested to the scene, and the CHP log notes the case was transferred from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office before being handled as a traffic collision with injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are rollover crashes so dangerous?
A rollover can throw unbelted occupants against the roof or out of the vehicle, and the roof itself can cave in under the weight of the vehicle as it tips and lands. Multiple impacts in a single crash raise the chance of serious injury compared with a single-impact collision.
Which vehicles are most prone to rollovers?
Taller, narrower vehicles such as SUVs, pickup trucks and vans have a higher center of gravity, which makes them more likely to tip over than low, wide sedans when a driver loses control or swerves sharply.
How does seat belt use affect rollover survival?
Seat belts keep occupants in their seats as the vehicle rolls, cutting the risk of being ejected or thrown around the cabin. Most people killed in rollovers were not wearing a seat belt at the time.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle's tires hit a curb, soft shoulder or other object that stops the wheels suddenly while the body of the vehicle keeps moving, causing it to tip over. This differs from an "untripped" rollover, which can occur on flat pavement during a sharp steering maneuver.
