Clarence Nelson and Lisa Nelson Killed in Crash on Interstate 10 at Milliken Avenue in Ontario

October 24, 2025 – Ontario, CA – Tragedy struck in the early afternoon when a violent chain-reaction collision on the westbound I-10 Freeway near Milliken Avenue claimed the lives of several individuals, including former assistant basketball coach Clarence Nelson and his wife, Lisa Nelson.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 1:10 p.m. when a commercial semi-truck driven by a 21-year-old driver allegedly failed to slow for stopped traffic, causing a high-speed impact that set off a multi-vehicle pile-up involving cars and other large trucks.

Emergency crews arriving at the scene found several vehicles badly damaged and the roadway scattered with debris. The Nelsons were pronounced dead at the scene. Two others also died in the crash, and four more individuals were hospitalized with serious injuries
