Devore, CA (July 15, 2025) – An early morning collision involving two big rigs caused major traffic delays and lane closures on the southbound Interstate 15 Freeway near the 215 split in Devore on Tuesday. The crash was first reported just after 3:14 a.m. on July 15, according to the California Highway Patrol.
According to reports, initial incident logs show that a stalled semi-truck had become a traffic hazard in the middle lanes when it was struck by a second big rig traveling through the area. Officers confirmed that both trucks remained upright but sustained major damage, leaving debris scattered across the freeway lanes.
Emergency crews from the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District arrived on scene to assist with cleanup and rotation tow services were called in to remove the damaged rigs. At around 3:56 a.m., CHP reopened lanes 1 and 2, but drivers continued to face significant backups, with congestion stretching as far as Kenwood Avenue and delays of up to 20 minutes reported.
Caltrans traffic cameras captured the long line of vehicles squeezing past the wreckage under nighttime lights as crews worked to clear the scene. No information on injuries has been released, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation by authorities.
