Fontana is the largest city by area in San Bernardino County and one of the fastest-growing in California. It's home to a massive logistics and warehousing industry, the Auto Club Speedway, and major transportation corridors including the I-10, I-15, and SR-66 (Foothill Blvd). With that growth and traffic volume comes a significant car accident problem — and Gonzales Law Offices is right here in Fontana to help.
Fontana's Most Dangerous Roads
Sierra Avenue
Sierra Avenue is Fontana's main north-south arterial, running from the I-10 north through commercial zones to the foothills. The segment near Arrow Route and Baseline Road is a consistent high-crash corridor, with multi-lane crossings, commercial truck traffic, and high speeds.
Foothill Boulevard (Historic Route 66)
Foothill Blvd runs east-west across Fontana and is one of the city's most active commercial corridors. Continuous driveways, delivery vehicles, pedestrian crossings, and heavy traffic make it one of the city's highest-crash arterials.
Cherry Avenue
Cherry Avenue near the I-10 interchange is heavily used by freight traffic from adjacent distribution centers. Truck turning movements and tight intersection geometry have resulted in numerous serious accidents.
Jurupa Avenue
Running along Fontana's southern edge through industrial areas, Jurupa sees heavy truck traffic and limited pedestrian infrastructure — a combination that frequently results in serious injury collisions.
Fontana's Warehouse and Logistics Industry: An Accident Risk Factor
Fontana is home to dozens of massive distribution centers — Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Home Depot, and many more. The heavy truck traffic generated by these facilities enters and exits city streets around the clock. When a delivery truck or semi causes your accident:
- The employer may be liable under respondeat superior (California)
- Federal FMCSA regulations create additional negligence standards
- Commercial carriers carry $750,000 to $5 million in liability coverage
- Black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records must be preserved immediately
