Victorville, CA – Two Critically Injured in Head-On Crash on Hwy 395
Victorville, CA (January 11, 2022) – A head-on collision on US Highway 395 left two men with critical injuries on Thursday, January 8th.
The crash occurred at about 9:30 p.m. in the area of Bear Valley Road in Victorville.
According to sources, the accident involved a Dodge Charger and a Chevy Silverado pick-up truck.
Upon their arrival, Victorville City Firefighters determined that two of the victims required transport by medical helicopter. Due to inclement weather, however, a total of four helicopters refused to offer transport.
Eventually, ambulances arrived on the scene and took both victims to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
