Lebec, CA (July 19, 2025) – A serious crash involving a box truck and a semi-truck shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Grapevine, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Accident Details: The collision was reported around 4:20 p.m., south of the I-5 escape ramp. At least one individual suffered major injuries, and an air ambulance transported them to a hospital.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: When a collision involves two large commercial vehicles, it’s crucial to reconstruct the accident to determine its cause. Investigators will examine the speed of the vehicles, driver hour logs, vehicle maintenance records, and road conditions. They will also determine who had the right of way and whether driver fatigue or inattention played a role.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the injured individual may be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim.
I send my thoughts and well wishes to the injured in this collision. I hope for their full and swift recovery.
