Baker, California — A tragic I-15 Freeway accident near Baker, California, claimed the life of a Spring Valley resident in the early hours of Saturday morning. The crash, involving a single vehicle overturned multiple times, is a sobering reminder of the risks drivers face on California highways—particularly when reckless behavior is involved.
Details of the Incident
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office, the crash occurred on March 29, 2025, at approximately 3:22 a.m., on the southbound I-15 Freeway near the Baker Boulevard offramp.
The vehicle involved—a small pick-up truck equipped with a camper shell—was reportedly driving recklessly before the crash. Witness reports and CHP incident logs suggest the truck overturned eight to ten times before coming to rest on its wheels.
When emergency personnel from San Bernardino County Fire arrived at the scene, they found one occupant of the vehicle deceased. The driver has since been identified as Mark A. Everett, 45, of Spring Valley in San Diego County. No information has been released regarding any additional occupants or injuries as of this report.
The California Highway Patrol’s Barstow Office has launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the rollover. Factors such as excessive speed, mechanical failure, or driver impairment may be considered in the investigation.
