The Tuesday night incident took place at about 7:13 p.m. Firefighters from the San Bernardino County Fire Department were among those who responded.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the motorcycle collided with a Silverado pickup truck in the northbound lanes just before the Highway 138 exit. The force of the impact ejected the rider from the bike, then he landed in the traffic lanes. Subsequently, a semi-truck struck the motorcycle.
Emergency responders took the motorcyclist to a local hospital in critical condition. There was no information yet about the rider’s identity.
Meanwhile, two northbound lanes had to be shut down while crews and investigators worked the scene. The cause and events leading to the crash are still under investigation.
Due to their unprotected nature, motorcycle accidents often result in more serious injuries and fatalities than those involving other vehicles. As such, it is imperative to take the proper safety measures when operating one. Always wear a full-coverage helmet and protective gear. Be aware of your surroundings and obey road rules, as well as the speed limit. For other vehicles, keep a safe riding distance to help avoid dangerous situations.
