Halloran Springs, San Bernardino County — Officials are investigating a deadly rollover accident that occurred Sunday morning on the northbound side of Interstate 15, just north of Halloran Wash.
The incident took place around 9:34 a.m. on April 13, 2025, approximately five miles from the Halloran Springs exit. According to the California Highway Patrol’s incident log, a white Ford Escape flipped over and came to a stop upside down, blocking the center lanes.
First responders arrived at the scene after receiving reports that an infant was unresponsive following the crash. Several other occupants sustained injuries, and early information suggested that as many as five individuals were inside the vehicle when it rolled over.
San Bernardino County Fire officials reported that two people were critically injured and called for two medical helicopters to be dispatched to the scene.
At around 10:25 a.m., all northbound lanes were temporarily closed to allow one of the helicopters to land. A Sig Alert was later issued for the #1 and #2 lanes, with an estimated closure lasting two hours.
One patient was flown by Mercy Air 21 to University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
By 10:45 a.m., CHP logs confirmed that the crash had resulted in a fatality. Additional information, including the victim’s identity and what caused the accident, has not yet been made public.

Who’s Entitled for Compensation in a Rollover Accident?
In a rollover accident like the one described, several parties could be entitled to compensation, depending on their involvement and the circumstances of the crash:
Injured Passengers
Adults or children in the vehicle who were injured (including the baby, if they survive). Passengers are almost always considered not at fault, so they may pursue claims against:
- The driver of the vehicle (if the driver was negligent).
- Another driver or third party (if another vehicle or factor contributed to the crash).
- A vehicle manufacturer (in case of a tire blowout, roof crush, or mechanical failure).
The Family of the Deceased
If someone died in the crash (as reported), their next of kin may file a wrongful death lawsuit, typically:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Children (biological or adopted)
- Parents (in some cases, especially if the deceased was a minor)
They may be able to recover damages for funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship, future lost income or support, among many others.
The Driver (Possibly)
If the driver was not at fault, they may also be eligible for compensation due to:
- Injuries sustained
- Vehicle damage
- Lost wages, etc.
If another vehicle, a road hazard, or a defective vehicle part contributed to the rollover, the driver could file a claim against:
- Another motorist
- A government entity (for dangerous road conditions)
- An auto manufacturer (for defective design or parts)
