A devastating six-vehicle collision involving a semi-truck in San Bernardino County on June 20 has left a 5-year-old girl with dire injuries, including two skull fractures and a broken leg. The crash took place at the intersection of Highway 395 and Calleja Road in Adelanto, according to authorities. The young girl, identified as Dalilah Coleman, was airlifted to the hospital. The incident occurred while Dalilah and an adult companion were en route to visit her stepsister. Sources say a semi-truck collided with their vehicle, initiating the chain-reaction crash amidst halted traffic due to construction in the area. Following the accident, eyewitnesses speculated that the semi-truck’s driver may have fallen asleep behind the wheel. However, authorities have yet to confirm who is at fault or endorse the eyewitness accounts. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reported that investigations into the cause of the collision are currently underway. In the wake of this traumatic incident, Dalilah remains heavily sedated at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital, facing a long recovery period ahead. Reports indicate that she will require comprehensive neurological therapy, physical therapy, and potentially other treatments to manage her injuries and ensure her recovery. A fundraiser has been organized by the family to help with Dalilah’s rising medical costs.
