Car Flips on 15 Freeway, Snarling Traffic

CORONA, CA — A vehicle overturned Monday on Interstate 15 in Corona, coming to rest on its roof in the middle of the freeway and blocking two of four lanes.

The crash was reported about 5:40 p.m. on northbound I-15 at Hidden Valley Parkway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The driver, who was not identified, apparently lost control of her black Hyundai in the slow lane, and the vehicle rolled at least once, according to the CHP. No other vehicles were involved.

Two lanes were obstructed because of the wreck, forcing all northbound traffic into the fast lane and the No. 2 lane, according to reports from the scene.

The driver got out of the car on her own before Corona Fire Department crews arrived. She was checked by paramedics, but it was unclear whether she was taken to a hospital for treatment.

All lanes were expected to be open and available by 6:30 p.m.
