A man was airlifted to a trauma center following a two-vehicle collision on the northbound Interstate 15 Freeway beneath the Ranchero Road overpass in Hesperia on Friday night, May 16, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 10:48 p.m. and involved a dark-colored 2021 Toyota Camry and a silver Honda. The Honda sustained major front-end damage, while the Camry had major rear-end damage.
It was not immediately confirmed which vehicle the injured man was in at the time of the collision. Both vehicles were reported blocking traffic lanes, with one facing the wrong direction under the overpass.
San Bernardino County Fire personnel responded to the scene and determined the man’s injuries required emergency air transport. Mercy Air 22 landed near Bishop Avenue and Poplar Street, east of Highway 395, where the man was transferred from a ground ambulance and flown to a trauma center.
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.
