A multi-car accident closed all southbound lanes on Interstate 15 just after 4 p.m. during the afternoon of March 30, according to authorities. The California Highway Patrol has confirmed that four vehicles were involved in the car accident, which sent seven people to local hospitals. So far, no criminal charges appear to have been filed against any of the drivers involved in the crash, but the investigation remains ongoing as of this report. 

According to the limited information provided at this time, it appears a pickup truck driven by an unknown party collided with three other vehicles, causing one of them to flip over onto its side, trapping at least one person. First responders worked to free that individual, while the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department saw to the other injured parties. A tweet sent out by the fire department confirmed that two people required extrication from the pileup and suffered serious injury. 

Earlier this month in March, a victim was killed in a fatal car crash. The accident involved an overturned semi-truck and a sedan on the 5 Freeway in Anaheim, California.

Police reported to the scene around 3AM at Euclid Street and found a big rig on its side, and a Toyota Camry blocking one of the lanes on the freeway. The victim was flung out of the car upon the fatal crash and died at the scene. It is unclear which car the victim was in at the time of the crash.

All southbound lanes were closed for over two hours after the accident, and one reopened at 5AM. By 8AM, all southbound lanes were open.

The police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

One person is dead and two others were hospitalized for various injuries following a car crash near Big Bear on the morning of March 13, according to state troopers. California Highway Patrol has confirmed the death of a 22-year-old woman who was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the motor vehicle accident. A 31-year-old man suffered major injuries, and an 80-year-old man escaped with only minor injuries. Charges have not yet been filed in this case. 

According to the accident report, the 31-year-old and his 22-year-old passenger were headed northbound on Highway 18 around 9:45 a.m. when the accident occurred. It appears the driver may have lost control of his vehicle, drifting into oncoming traffic. His vehicle then struck a southbound car driven by the 80-year-old man. The southbound vehicle struck his car on the passenger side. 

Highway 80 westbound was closed for several hours after a serious accident sent multiple people to the hospital, including children. The California Highway Patrol confirmed that a careless driver is suspected to be responsible for the crash, which involved seven cars. So far, it does not appear that individual has been charged with a crime. 

According to the limited information available from the report, it appears that around 8 p.m. the evening of March 3, an unidentified driver lost control of a vehicle, striking another car on the highway just east of Temperance. The force of the impact catapulted the individual's car across the center median, where it struck four more vehicles. The driver was rushed to a local hospital with injuries described as major.
