Accident in Hesperia
The California Highway Patrol is investigating a crash involving two of their officers and another driver that occurred early Saturday morning in Hesperia, California.
The collision took place shortly before 5:30 a.m. on March 30, 2024, on the northbound lanes of the I-15 freeway, amid adverse weather conditions.
The patrol officers’ vehicle was parked, attending to another car that had skidded due to the rain, when a 2022 white Toyota Camry hit their cruiser.
Both officers involved in the crash sustained minor injuries and were transported by ground ambulances.
Meanwhile, the third driver, who crashed into the California Highway Patrol vehicle, was taken into custody under suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This individual was also injured in the event but is expected to recover after being taken to a local hospital.
As a result of the accident, northbound traffic on the I-15 was temporarily closed. This closure allowed emergency medical teams to reach and attend to the scene but also led to significant traffic congestion, extending as far back as Main Street.
No further details were immediately available.
