SAN JACINTO, CA (August 8, 2019) — Multiple people suffered injuries after a big-rig accident on Sanderson Avenue on Wednesday.
 
According to officials, the collision involved a small passenger vehicle and a tandem trailer big-rig. It occurred on Sanderson Avenue, just north of Ramona Expressway.
 
Officers responded to the scene around 2:10 a.m.
 
California State Officials immediately located a silver Toyota coupe and a semi-truck pulling tandem bottom-dump trailers at the scene.
 
During their initial investigation, deputies discovered that the Toyota traveled south on North Sanderson Avenue just before the incident. Meanwhile, the northbound semi-truck was in the number two lane of traffic.
 
The Toyota traveled to the right then to the left before crossing into the northbound lanes of traffic. The Toyota and semi eventually collided in the northbound lanes, consequently causing major damage to both vehicles.

The sheriff’s investigation is still currently ongoing.
 
It is important to always be alert when behind the wheel of a car, truck, or bus. Always stay within the speed limit, and follow the rules of the road to prevent any dangerous accidents. In addition, always keep an eye out for possible road hazards and stay on guard.
