SAN BERNARDINO, San Bernardino County, Calif., Nov. 9, 2026 — A hit-and-run crash with injuries closed part of northbound I-15 near the I-215 interchange early Sunday morning, November 8, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The California Highway Patrol said a gray Chevrolet Suburban was rear-ended, spun around, and struck again, reportedly after a collision with a white pickup truck that was identified as the victim's vehicle. A witness reported seeing a third vehicle, possibly a white Honda Civic, in the area of northbound I-15 north of Glen Helen, though it was unclear where that vehicle went afterward. The agency later upgraded the incident from a hit-and-run with no injuries to a hit-and-run with injuries shortly after 1:19 a.m.
A black Ford F-250 reported by a witness and a champagne-colored Chevrolet Tahoe were both left partially blocking the fast lane, according to the CHP. The Suburban was also described as a traffic hazard in the log. San Bernardino police were asked to respond for officer safety, and a tow was requested to clear at least one vehicle from the scene.
The extent of the reported injuries was not detailed in the CHP log, and no names have been released. The investigation into the hit-and-run remains open, and anyone with information on the vehicle that reportedly left the scene is likely to be sought by investigators.
Our thoughts are with those who were injured, and we wish them a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash like this?
Higher speeds increase the force of impact and the distance a vehicle travels before a driver can react, which tends to make injuries worse and vehicles harder to control after a collision.
What should someone do immediately after being hit on a freeway like this?
Move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and try to document the scene and any other vehicles involved, including descriptions of vehicles that leave before officers arrive.
How do nighttime conditions contribute to crashes on freeways?
Reduced visibility, lower traffic volume at higher speeds, and driver fatigue can all make it harder to react in time, which is one reason overnight crashes commonly involve multiple vehicles.
