A woman was critically injured and airlifted following a serious multi-vehicle collision in Hesperia on Monday morning, August 12, 2024.
According to the responding officials, the crash occurred just before 7:00 a.m. at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Mauna Loa Street near Maple Elementary School.
The incident involved three vehicles: a green GMC Yukon, a silver Toyota Camry, and a white Chevy Tahoe. Upon arrival, firefighters found a woman trapped inside the Toyota, requiring extrication.
The woman sustained critical injuries and was subsequently airlifted to an out-of-area trauma center. Witnesses reported that she was in and out of consciousness during transport.
Later updates from acquaintances indicated that she underwent surgery for a broken hip and wrist and is expected to recover. Authorities have yet to provide further details about the identity of the patient.
No word yet regarding the condition of the other two drivers involved. It is also unclear if all three vehicles involved only had their respective drivers onboard at the time of the accident.
The incident led to temporary lane closures around the area as emergency crews worked at the scene. The Hesperia Police Department is currently 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.
