UPLAND, San Bernardino County, Calif., Nov. 6, 2026 — A driver was reported hurt and in need of medical attention after a car collided with a semi-truck on eastbound I-10 near Monte Vista Avenue on Thursday night, November 5, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The condition of the semi-truck's driver was not immediately known. One of the vehicles was reported not drivable at the scene, and tow service was requested. Lanes on eastbound I-10 were blocked while crews worked, and the agency's log initially classified the collision as one without injuries before the request for medics was noted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a crash involving a commercial truck?
Move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor. Get the truck driver's information, the trucking company's name, and the names of any witnesses, and notify your insurer as soon as you can.
Why do large trucks need more distance to stop than cars?
Loaded semi-trucks can weigh twenty times as much as a passenger car, and that added weight means much longer stopping distances, especially at highway speeds or in wet conditions.
What makes truck crashes more dangerous than typical car accidents?
The size and weight difference between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle means occupants of the smaller vehicle usually absorb more of the force in a collision, which can lead to more severe injuries.
What are a truck's blind spots, and why do they matter to other drivers?
Semi-trucks have large blind spots along both sides, directly behind the trailer, and close in front of the cab. Drivers who linger in these zones may not be visible to the truck driver, raising the risk of a collision during lane changes or turns.
