Man, Woman Killed in Pedestrian Accident on 215 Freeway Near Palm Avenue [San Bernardino, CA]

Driver Fatally Strikes 2 Pedestrians in San Bernardino

 
SAN BERNARDINO, CA (July 2, 2020) — Two people died following Tuesday night in a pedestrian accident on 215 Freeway near Palm Avenue.
 
According to a California Highway Patrol incident log, a 2013 white Ford E350 box truck, described as a Budget moving vehicle, was heading southbound on the 215 Freeway around 11:45 p.m.
 
At this time, two pedestrians — a man and a woman — had been standing outside two parked cars along the right shoulder of the freeway.
 
For unknown reasons, the approaching Ford driver allowed his vehicle to veer onto the right shoulder, where it struck the rear of a disabled beige 1997 Toyota Camry. The moving truck subsequently struck the two pedestrians standing near their vehicles.
 
In the wake of the crash, a 54-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman — both residents of Perris — died in the accident.
 
Per a preliminary investigation, no evidence points to alcohol and drugs playing as factors in the crash.
 
However, detectives plan to examine this accident more closely to determine the underlying cause and liability.
