Driver Airlifted After Accident Between Pickup and Big Rig Truck on Highway 138 in Pinon Hills, California

PINON HILLS, Calif. – One person was critically injured Sunday morning following a collision between a Toyota Tacoma and a big rig on Highway 138 near Pinon Hills.

According to reports, emergency crews arrived to find the pickup truck driver trapped inside the vehicle after what appeared to be a head-on or near head-on collision. Firefighters worked to free the individual, who was then airlifted to a hospital for medical treatment.

The injured driver and their family deserve to know what caused this crash

Head-on or near-head-on collisions occur in an instant, often with devastating consequences. One moment, someone is simply traveling down the highway, the next, their life has changed forever.

That’s the reality of the violent collision that happened on Highway 138 in Pinon Hills, where a pickup truck and a big rig collided early Sunday morning, leaving one person critically injured.

To fully understand what happened, investigators must look beyond the initial crash report. Evidence such as dashcam footage, the truck’s black box data showing speed and braking activity, and witness statements will help determine the moments leading up to impact.

Collecting and preserving this evidence is essential to ensuring accountability. If another driver’s negligence or a preventable failure played a role, those responsible must be held accountable.

Our thoughts are with the injured driver and their family as they seek answers and begin the road to recovery.
