Minor Collision Leaves One Injured

One man was treated for minor injuries after a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Canal Street and Barton Road Wednesday, Feb. 4. San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies and San Bernardino County fire personnel responded to the crash involving a red Nissan Altima and a gray Honda Civic that afternoon. Capt. Jon Garber of San Bernardino County Fire explained the collision may have occurred after the Honda, containing a single driver, made a turn into a nearby parking lot, possibly in front of the red Nissan, containing a driver and passenger. "The grey Honda was coming up Barton to turn into the parking lot. The red Nissan was heading westbound down(Barton Road). The grey car possibly turned in front of the red car, and they collided," Garber said. Both vehicles sustained damage to their front ends and were towed at the site, which was scattered with glass and shrapnel. Officials did not give the identities of the individuals involved in the crash but shared the male driver of the Nissan was later treated at Loma Linda Medical Center for rib pain. San Bernardino County officer Kevin Larson said, “Of the three individuals involved, only the one male driver of the red Nissan suffered from standard airbag injuries and needed to be taken to the hospital.” The other two involved in the collision - the driver of the Honda and the passenger of the Nissan - did not report any injuries, officials added.
