[03-02-2021] San Bernardino County, CA – Fatal Motorcycle Crash in Victorville Results in One Death

An unidentified man was killed after a deadly motorcycle collision involving three other vehicles in Victorville on Tuesday evening, March 2.

The multi-vehicle collision with the motorcycle transpired at approximately 4:48 p.m. on Bear Valley Road at Hesperia Road.

The motorcyclist was reportedly heading westbound on Bear Valley Road at high speeds. A witness claimed that the motorcyclist might have been attempting to beat the red light.

The motorcyclist then collided with a southbound Toyota Yaris. He struck the driver’s side of the vehicle, then flew 10 feet and went under a stopped truck.

The collision triggered a chain-reaction crash. The Toyota Yarris collided with a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a GMC Sierra after the initial crash.

Bystanders at the scene attempted to perform CPR on the motorcyclist while waiting for emergency personnel to arrive. The motorcycle rider was rushed to Desert Valley Hospital, where he was sadly later pronounced dead.

The Toyota Yari driver remained at the scene and cooperated with local authorities. The Victorville Police Department is currently investigating the accident. Witnesses that can provide additional information about the accident are encouraged to call the Victorville Police Department at 760-241-2911.

Fatal Motorcycle Statistics

Motorcycle accidents can often lead to catastrophic and even devastating results. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis, approximately 5,286 motorcyclists were killed in the U.S. in 2016.

Motorcycle riders are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear a helmet every time they ride their motorcycle to prevent fatal injuries. Wearing helmets were estimated to be 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.

Many injuries can result from a motorcycle crash, from road rash and traumatic tattooing to head and brain injuries. Motorcycle accidents also have serious effects on the involved party’s mental health, often resulting in emotional scarring.

Not every motorcycle accident victim walks away. Motorcyclists are much more likely to experience fatal injuries in a crash than passengers of other motor vehicles.
