I-15 through the Inland Empire carries both daily commuters and massive Las Vegas weekend traffic surges. The Cajon Pass section north of Fontana is particularly dangerous — steep grades, high truck volume, and abrupt speed changes create chain-reaction rear-end crashes. Southbound I-15 backups at the 210/10 junction cause frequent morning commute rear-ends.
Is the Cajon Pass on I-15 dangerous?
Extremely. Steep grades, high truck traffic, brake failures, and weather events make the Cajon Pass one of the deadliest freeway segments in Southern California.
What if a truck's brakes failed and it rear-ended me on I-15?
Brake failure is a truck maintenance issue — the trucking company and potentially the maintenance provider can be liable. These are high-value cases.

What is the speed limit on I-15 through the Inland Empire?
