[12-05-2022] San Bernardino County, CA – Three People Slightly Injured in Hesperia Two-Vehicle Collision

Three people were slightly injured following a two-vehicle collision in Hesperia on Monday, December 05, 2022.

According to the local authorities, the crash transpired at 10:14 a.m. at the freeway offramp of Interstate 15 at Main Street.

A white Chevrolet Tahoe tried to make a turn onto Main Street after exiting the freeway when a blue Ford sedan passed the red light and struck the SUV.

The sedan could not stop due to the impact until it reached the Main Street and Mariposa Road intersection, almost hitting other cars at the red light.

The sedan’s occupants, a mother and her daughter, were treated by the San Bernardino County Fire for minor cuts. The SUV driver complained of abdominal pain. Fortunately, no one was taken by ambulance.

Main Street and the northbound 15 off-lane ramps were impacted. About an hour later, two tow trucks came to the scene to remove the cars from the road.

The Hesperia Police and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies are looking into the crash.
