[05-28-2024] One Person Killed, Two Others Possibly Injured After Motorcycle Vs. Vehicle Crash in VictorvilleOne person was killed, while two others were possibly injured after a motorcycle vs. vehicle crash in Victorville on Tuesday evening, May 28, 2024.

According to the Victorville Police Department, the deadly traffic incident occurred at about 7:17 p.m. at the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Hughes Road.

Upon arrival, police found a blue-and-white Yamaha sports motorcycle and a Mercedes-Benz, both with apparent collision damage, blocking the roadway.

Initial reports indicated that the Yamaha was traveling northbound on Rodeo Drive while the Mercedes was going west on Hughes Road. For some reason, the motorcycle collided with the driver-side door of the vehicle, throwing its rider into the ground.

The Yamaha motorcycle rider, later identified by the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office as 36-year-old Igor M., died at the scene after life-saving efforts were unsuccessful. 

Meanwhile, the male driver of the Mercedes and his passenger declined medical transportation and checked themselves into a local hospital via a separate private vehicle. Their current condition is currently unknown.

The intersection was blocked off for several hours as the authorities investigated and cleared up the scene.

No additional information was available at this time, and the VPD is still gathering all the necessary details to determine the cause of the accident and the possible factors that may have contributed to it.

Police work is underway.

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.
