Morning Collision Between Semi Truck and Sedan in San Dimas Sends One to Hospital

 
SAN DIMAS, CA (December 14, 2018) – One person was hospitalized following a traffic collision between a semi truck and a sedan Friday morning in San Dimas.
 
The collision happened around 5:35 a.m. on southbound 57 Freeway at Via Verde.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the semi truck and a gray Dodge Charger sedan collided for unknown reasons. When officers arrived on the scene, both the semi and the sedan were blocking the first lane of the freeway.
 
One occupant was reportedly transported to San Dimas Community Hospital with unspecified injuries.
 
There were no descriptions of any vehicular damages but the Dodge sedan was towed away from the wreckage.
 
It is unknown if speed, drugs and/or alcohol were contributing factors in the crash. Further investigation is underway.
 
Semi trucks can be dangerous to drive around due to their size and large blind spots. Never try to cut off or slip past them, and avoid driving too close as truck drivers may not be able to see you. Semi truck drivers often spend long hours on the road and can be exhausted, increasing the risk for a car accident. Always stay alert and avoid distractions at all times behind the wheel.
