Accident Temporarily Shuts Down Northbound I-15 Near Bear Valley Road In Hesperia

HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) – A traffic collision temporarily shut down all northbound lanes of the Interstate 15 freeway just south of Bear Valley Road Saturday afternoon.

The collision was reported at approximately 3:44 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, 2026.

Initial reports indicated multiple vehicles may have been involved; however, aerial footage from the scene showed two vehicles with significant damage, and it remains unclear whether additional vehicles were involved and cleared prior to the footage.

All northbound lanes were temporarily blocked as emergency crews responded, with traffic backing up for several miles to before Joshua Street. A SigAlert was issued at 4:11 p.m. due to the full freeway closure.

At the scene, a black Chevy Silverado pickup truck was seen with major front-end damage near the center divider, while a tan-colored SUV sustained heavy damage to its front end and driver-side area along the right shoulder and was left facing the opposite direction of traffic.

Due to the severity of the collision, San Bernardino County Fire requested at least three ground ambulances to the scene.

At least two people were reported injured, including one individual who complained of chest pain and another who was described as being in significant pain. Both were evaluated at the scene before being transported for further medical care.

The roadway was reopened at approximately 4:46 p.m. after crews cleared the wreckage, and the injured patients were transported from the scene for further medical care.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol Victorville Station.
