Congratulations to the new parents and outstanding work by Officer Simmons and the San Gorgonio Pass Area - serving the public in ways people don't always see:

On April 28, 2026, at approximately 4:18 PM the CHP San Gorgonio Pass received a call for service regarding a driver who was going into labor and was requesting medical assistance on the Interstate 10 westbound Cherry Valley Boulevard offramp. Upon arriving on scene Officer Simmons was directed to the driver in distress by family members and without delay our officer put on his proper protective equipment and began assisting the driver. At approximately 4:31 PM Officer Simmons helped deliver the baby boy named Sonny on the side of the offramp prior to the Calimesa Fire Department arriving on scene. Mom and Sonny were then transported to the San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital where they are doing well.

This week is (Jan. 19–Jan. 26), a reminder that passengers play a critical role in keeping our roads safe. If you’re riding with someone who’s driving unsafely, don’t stay silent. Speaking up can save lives.

Whether it’s speeding, distracted driving, or driving under the influence, your voice can help prevent a dangerous situation before it escalates.

✔️ Always buckle up—every seat, every trip.
✔️ Encourage drivers to obey speed limits and traffic laws.
✔️ Speak up if the driver is distracted or suggest pulling over.
✔️ Trust your instincts—call 911 if you feel your safety is at risk.

Safety is a shared responsibility. Use your voice. It could save a life.
