Original Story
Rialto, CA – Two people were killed early Sunday morning after a minivan crashed into a semi-truck on Interstate 210 in Rialto, according to California Highway Patrol.
The collision was reported at approximately 2:37 a.m. on the eastbound side of I-210 near Riverside Avenue. The minivan became lodged beneath the semi-truck’s trailer, which was carrying a container.
Initial reports indicated that the semi-truck driver had pulled over to check the load when another vehicle struck the rear of the truck. A caller reported that there were four occupants in the smaller vehicle, including an unconscious passenger and a driver attempting to open a door.
Authorities later confirmed two fatalities. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office coroner was notified, and a SigAlert was issued as all lanes were stopped during the response and investigation.
Crews requested heavy-duty towing services to remove the vehicles and trailer. The circumstances surrounding the collision remain under investigation.
