RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – 5 Seriously Injured in Head-On Crash on 210 Freeway near 15 Freeway

Wrong-Way Car Causes Major Head-On Crash on 210 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga

 
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA (April 30, 2019) – Five people were seriously injured following a major head-on crash early Tuesday morning in Rancho Cucamonga.
 
The crash happened just before 3:00 a.m. on eastbound 210 Freeway near 15 Freeway.
 
According to an initial report, a car going the wrong way allegedly drove head-on into a white pickup truck, causing major damages to the front driver side of the pickup.
 
Two people in the wrong-way vehicle were physically extracted from their totally destroyed car. Rancho Cucamonga firemen cut their way into the decimated car in order to pull out the first individual trapped in the vehicle. That person was put on a stretcher and wheeled to an ambulance.
 
The firemen then rush to the other side of the car to cut out the other person from the wreck. As this person was put onto the stretcher and wheeled to the ambulance the filmer captured the face of the individual who looked unconscious.
 
Three occupants in the pickup truck, including one child, were also rushed to a hospital with serious injures.
 
It is unknown if drugs and/or alcohol were contributing factors in the crash. Further investigation is underway.
 
Driving on the wrong side of the road or against traffic is a common cause of head-on collisions. Always pay close attention to pavement markings for you to know if you are driving in the right direction or not. Maintain a safe speed and only drive when you are alert and sober.
