A multi-vehicle crash left several people critically injured along Summit Valley Road Wednesday evening, July 6, 2022.

According to the San Bernardino County Fire, the multi-vehicle crash occurred about 6:35 p.m., about 3 miles west of the Hesperia Airport.

A white Honda Civic, a white Subaru four-door, and a lime-green Jeep Rubicon were all involved in the collision.

When the San Bernardino County Fire firefighters arrived on the scene, they reported having four patients. The other two had less serious wounds, while two were in critical condition. A woman who was pregnant was one of the injured.

Firefighters requested two helicopter landings at the Hesperia Airport. Reach 13 flew one patient to Loma Linda University Medical Center in response, and a second patient was flown by a CHP helicopter to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

The Victorville station of the California Highway Patrol is looking into the accident’s official cause.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

American roads have some of the world’s worst traffic congestion. There are 280 million registered vehicles, and 227.5 million people drive daily.

At least six million people in the United States are injured or killed yearly in car accidents. Over 38,000 people die each year due to car accidents, the leading cause of death in the US.

Multi-vehicle collisions are good examples of this. A multi-vehicle collision occurs when three or more vehicles collide. A chain-reaction accident occurs when two vehicles collide on the road, causing a third vehicle to strike the first.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data shows over 13,000 fatalities in passenger car multi-vehicle collisions in just the last year. Unfortunately, they’re responsible for most car accidents.
