Westbound Interstate 10, closed since 2:30 a.m. Thursday, May 9, when a big rig overturned and spilled fuel across the freeway, has reopened.

Caltrans announced on Twitter that all lanes were open at 9:50 a.m. The eastbound lanes reopened at 7 a.m.

The crash, which occurred near Mountain Avenue, stopped traffic on the freeway for miles, and clogged side streets as commuters tried to find alternate routes.

Redlands firefighters and the California Highway Patrol responded to the scene. Crews used a crane to lift the big rig and towed it away.

A man killed on Interstate 10 near White Avenue in Pomona on May 3 was a Yorba Linda resident and may have been making an unsafe lane change, according to California Highway Patrol officials.

The crash was reported at 12:06 a.m. CHP officials said the driver – identified by San Bernardino Sheriff’s Coroner’s as 27-year-old James Oliver Bolla – was in a 2004 Toyota Tacoma pick-up headed east on the I-10. He was west of White Avenue traveling about 70 miles per hour when he changed lanes, officers said.

But the Tacoma got in the path of a tractor-trailer, officials said. The two collided and Bolla lost control of his vehicle that veered right and fell down an embankment where it overturned, officials said.

The pick-up came to rest on its wheels in two lanes of the White Avenue offramp below, according to the CHP. The driver of the big rig was not injured.

Los Angeles County Fire took Bolla by helicopter to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center where he died in the emergency room at 2:29 p.m. The driver of the big rig was not injured. The collision remains is under investigation.

Original story as follows:

A crash on Interstate 10 in the Beaumont area Friday morning was slowing eastbound traffic, officials reported.

According to California Highway Patrol logs, the crash happened around 9:50 a.m. on I-10, just east of Oak Valley Parkway.

Reports indicate that a Nissan Murano and Chevrolet Impala were on the right hand shoulder, but the number three lane had to be closed from the crash site to the westbound 60 connector.

A tow truck was en route to the scene to clear the vehicles.  No injuries were reported.

At least two people were injured– one of them very seriously– in a three-vehicle crash on the Interstate 10 in Calimesa, at the Riverside County line with San Bernardino County, authorities said.

The crash on the eastbound side, at the West County Line Road exit ramp, was reported just before 3 p.m. Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

One person suffered major injuries and was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, in San Bernardino County, the CHP reported.

According to the CHP, the vehicles involved were a silver SUV, a maroon Chevrolet Camaro and a Kia.

The other person suffered minor injuries, according to the CHP, but it was unclear whether that person was taken to a hospital.

A hit-and-run driver fleeing from an accident — and traveling the wrong direction on Interstate 10 — slammed head-on into a pickup, causing a fiery wreck that killed him and the motorist he hit, according to California Highway Patrol officials.

The crash happened at 1:22 a.m. Sunday, March 31, about a half-mile east of Brookside Avenue in Beaumont, coroner’s investigators said in a written statement.

Francisco Hernandez, 23, of Highland, left the scene of a traffic collision in a 2012 Toyota TC, according to CHP and coroner’s officials.

Hernandez was driving west in the interstate’s eastbound lanes and crashed into a 2004 GMC Sierra pickup, CHP officers determined. The GMC was driven by a 45-year-old Beaumont man whose name the coroner’s office has not yet released.

The collision caused the pickup to catch fire. It was fully ablaze by the time Cal Fire/Riverside County fire crews arrived. The Beaumont man’s body was badly burned, the CHP said.

Fire officials said a third person suffered major injuries. It was not clear which vehicle that person was in.

The eastbound lanes of I-10 were shut down while accident investigators worked. Officers didn’t immediately determine whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.
