SUMMARY:

On April 25, 2018 at approximately 11:25 pm, Deputies from the Hesperia Sheriff’s Station and rescue personnel from the San Bernardino County Fire Department were dispatched to a two vehicle, head on traffic collision that occurred on Peach Avenue, just north of Cherry Street in the City of Hesperia. Deputies and Fire personnel arrived on scene and found two vehicles, a 2001 Honda and a 2015 Nissan that were involved in the collision. The driver of the Honda, an adult male was trapped in his vehicle and suffered fatal injuries. An adult female and juvenile female in the Nissan suffered major injuries during the collision and both were transported by helicopter to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for further treatment.

Based on physical evidence found at the scene, investigators determined the Honda was traveling south on Peach Avenue and for reasons still under investigation, crossed over the double yellow line into the north bound lane, hitting the Nissan head on. The collision caused major damage to both vehicles and both north and south bound lanes of Peach were blocked to all traffic.

The Hesperia Station Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) is conducting the investigation and Peach Avenue is closed in both directions from Cherry Street to Hercules Street while investigators collect evidence and clear the vehicles from the scene. It remains under investigation whether alcohol or speed contributed to the cause of this collision.

The investigation is on-going and anyone with information regarding the collision is asked to contact Deputy Taylor Lamson or Sergeant Doug Hubbard from the Hesperia Sheriff's Station at (760) 947-1500
