Big Rig & SUV Crash Result in Death of Man 

Investigators are working to determine the cause of a fatal collision that occurred in San Dimas Monday morning. 

It was just before 3 a.m. when an SUV and big rig collided within the eastbound lanes of the 10 Freeway.

CHP reported that one person died as a result. He has been identified as Cesar Robelto Duarte, 37.

Authorities also issued a SigAlert at 3:13 a.m. due to the closure of the No. 2,3,4 and 5 lanes.

Further details will be provided once an investigation is concluded.

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cesar Robelto Duarte.

It is most often those in passenger cars that are killed in large truck collisions. Semi trucks typically weigh 20-30 times as much as passenger cars which leaves occupants of smaller cars more vulnerable. 

It is also much more difficult for larger trucks to stop so their braking capability can also be a factor in these collisions. 

According to the D.O.T., in 2019 67% of fatal collisions involving large trucks were occupants of a passenger car.
