UPDATES: Big
Bear Lake NewsRoom elected to refer to San
Bernardino County Fire twitter accounting of the Cajon Pass Wednesday
Incident. All responding agencies were immediately overwhelmed with challenges
of the dense fog and the rush to assist the many stranded motorists and
prioritizing the injured; therefore details of the chain-reaction accident were
hampered. This reporter was keeping in
contact with Caltrans Terri Kasinga, who was dealing with the weather issues while
determining the road conditions on Interstate 15. Soon after the 11:30 A.M. incident, Caltrans
closed the northbound lanes, but left the southbound lanes open for emergency vehicles.
Responding
agencies were: Caltrans, California Highway Patrol – Inland Division, San Bernardino
County Fire Department.

I
have seen fog in this area in the winter but never this close to summer. The
fog can get so thick it is hard to see other cars lights unless they have their
hazards on and people drive through this at like 100 mph with seemingly little
concern....
