[10-18-2022] San Bernardino County, CA – Pregnant Woman Sent to Hospital, Two Others Injured in Rollover Crash On Interstate 15 In Yermo

According to the California Highway Patrol, a rollover crash sent a pregnant woman to the hospital, other two people suffered minor injuries on Interstate 15 in Yernos Tuesday morning, October 18, 2022.

As per CAL Fire the crash took place at about 8:20 a.m. on southbound I-15 Calico Road offramp.

It was reported that the vehicle was heading south on the expressways. The car lost control for unknown reasons, flipped multiple times, and came to rest on the off-ramp on the right shoulder. The accident only involved that single vehicle.

One of the three occupants needed medical transport, so rescuers asked for one medical helicopter.

One, a seven-month pregnant woman, was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center by Reach Air Medical #13 after experiencing chest pains at the scene.

Two others had minor injuries and were taken away in a ground ambulance.

The accident is being looked into by the Barstow Office of the California Highway Patrol.

Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The number of lives lost each year in California due to single-vehicle collisions is shocking. When only one car is involved in an accident, only that car is damaged. The vehicle may have swerved off the road or made contact with a stationary object, both of which could set off the alarm. Most of these crashes are caused by drivers who are too drowsy or drunk to pay attention to the road, as well as by low visibility and bad weather.

According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), single-vehicle crashes account for 62% of all traffic fatalities in the Golden State. California motorists must always be on the lookout for potential dangers on the road.

It’s not always easy to pinpoint what causes a crash involving a single vehicle. On wet roads, accidents and runaways are more likely to occur, especially when drivers try to make evasive maneuvers like quick or sharp turns. Truck cargo and fallen trees or branches are just two examples of what could potentially be dangerous roadside debris.

Even if the other driver was at fault, your ability to collect damages in a single-car accident may be severely restricted by your insurance policy’s coverage plan.
