Three people were injured, including one in critical condition, following a violent two-vehicle crash on State Route 18 near Johnson Road in the community of Phelan, San Bernardino County, late Saturday night, March 22, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred shortly before 11:00 p.m. and involved a 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV and a 2002 GMC Yukon. Upon arrival, San Bernardino County Fire personnel found the GMC Yukon overturned on its side, while the Chevrolet sustained extensive front-end damage.
CHP incident logs indicated that a male occupant from the overturned vehicle suffered a serious head injury with significant bleeding. Emergency crews assessed three patients at the scene—two with delayed injuries and one in critical condition.
A medical helicopter was dispatched, prompting a temporary shutdown of both directions of SR-18 to allow for a safe landing.
The critically injured patient was airlifted to an out-of-area trauma center for further medical treatment.
The CHP’s Victorville Station is investigating the cause of the collision.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
