Beaumont, CA – An investigation is underway into a crash that left at least one person injured on the Redlands (10) Freeway in Beaumont on Sunday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident took place at around 12:30 p.m. February 1, on the westbound freeway near Oak Valley Parkway.
A preliminary investigation reveals that three vehicles were involved in the incident. The report did not indicate how the vehicles collided.
The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene to investigate the crash as emergency crews rendered aid to the involved parties.
At least one person was injured in the collision and was transported to the hospital for treatment. The extent of the injuries sustained were not immediately established.
The accident led to the closure of the No 1 and 2 lanes of the westbound 10 Freeway as authorities investigated and cleared the scene. Traffic was backed up to Pennsylvania Avenue.

California continues to experience a high number of vehicle collisions each year. According to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were over 2,000 fatal crashes and nearly 300,000 total collisions reported statewide in 2024. Rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions on major freeways like the 10 Freeway contribute significantly to injuries and hospitalizations.
