Oak Hills, CA – Injuries Reported in Semi-Truck Accident on 15 Freeway

Oak Hills, CA (February 1, 2022) – Two people sustained serious injuries in a semi-truck accident on Sunday night, January 30. 

According to local officials, the accident happened around 11 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the 15 Freeway. A Dodge Challenger was traveling in the area when it collided with a semi-truck that was loaded with poultry. The accident was so forceful that both vehicles became engulfed in flames and sustained severe damage. 

Several responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. The semi-truck driver was able to safely self-extricate from his vehicle. A female passenger inside the Dodge sustained a broken leg and various other injuries. She was immediately rushed to a trauma center by medical helicopter. Another individual inside the Dodge sustained minor injuries and is expected to be okay. 

Due to the severity of the collision, all southbound lanes of traffic on the highway were blocked for a period of time. 

The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues at this time. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery. 

Truck Accidents in California

California sees a large number of truck accidents every year. In just one year, it is estimated that California estimates 113 fatalities caused by truck accidents and approximately 3,000 injuries. Semi-trucks are some of the largest vehicles on our roads, which means that they are capable of causing extensive harm in the event of an accident. Truck drivers are supposed to be some of the safest drivers on our roads. In fact, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates drivers and trucking companies as strictly as possible. However, these accidents continue to happen every year, causing traumatic injuries and fatal results.
