Baker, CA (March 31, 2025) Tragedy struck on Interstate 15 near Baker on Easter weekend in the form of a traumatic head-on collision. Two children and one adult lost their lives in this head-on crash on Saturday afternoon, March 30th.

The fatal crash occurred at approximately 1:45 p.m. near the Halloran Springs off-ramp, according to police officers.

It all started when a black Mercedes-Benz SUV was traveling south on Interstate 15 and suddenly drifted into the northbound lanes. It then hit another SUV head-on, according to police officers. The vehicles were both traveling at high rates of speed which made the accident deadly and traumatic.
Emergency crews hurried to the scene and found the two vehicles with severe damage. Paramedics rushed to give aid to anyone in need and were sickened and heartbroken by what they found. Two children had been killed in the crash and were, sadly, pronounced dead at the scene. San Bernardino County Fire Spokesperson, Jeremy Kern, said that a 40-year-old woman, the mother of the children, was possibly paralyzed in this collision.
