Three people sustained major injuries following a two-vehicle crash involving a Ford Mustang and a tractor-trailer in Victorville on Wednesday morning, July 15, 2026.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the collision was reported at around 3:54 a.m. on Bear Valley Road, east of Balsam Avenue, in the No. 1 westbound lane.

The Mustang, traveling eastbound, collided with a red tractor-trailer carrying multiple forklifts. The Mustang sustained catastrophic damage, including a destroyed front end, a sheared roof, and a heavily damaged passenger compartment.
