On Tuesday, February 19th, the California Highway Patrol received reports of an accident located on Highway 18 near the lower Bonnie Canyon Bridge. The vehicle was a Lexus sedan and it came to rest on its roof.
The reporting party reportedly told the 911 dispatcher that the vehicle had started on fire and that the woman was still inside. There was no evidence of fire at the scene. San Bernardino County Fire units from station 25 in Crestline arrived on scene to find a woman with minor injuries.
