[06-15-2024] San Bernardino County, CA – One Person Killed, Another Injured Following Two-Vehicle Collision in Apple Valley

[06-15-2024] One Person Killed, Another Injured Following Two-Vehicle Collision in Apple Valley One person was killed, and another was injured following a two-vehicle collision in Apple Valley, San Bernardino County, on Saturday evening, June 15, 2024. 

According to the responding officers, the crash happened around 7:02 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 18 and Central Road. 

Authorities stated that a 28-year-old Markell L. was driving an orange Ford Fiesta heading northbound on Central Road and approaching State Highway 18. Meanwhile, a black Audi SQ5, driven by 27-year-old Konstanti M., was traveling eastbound on State Highway 18 in the number one lane. 

A surveillance video showed that the Fiesta was traveling at a high rate of speed as it entered the intersection against a red light. As a result, the Audi SQ5 broadsided the Fiesta in the intersection, causing the Fiesta to overturn multiple times before it came to rest in a dirt lot in the northeast corner of the intersection. 

Police said that Markell L. sustained major injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he died. Konstanti M. also suffered injuries and was able to receive medical treatment. 

The highway’s westbound lanes were temporarily closed for around 45 minutes to clean up the crash site and gather evidence. 

No further information was released, and the authorities are gathering all the necessary details to determine the official cause of the crash. 

The investigation into the fatal incident continues.

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.
