Five Injured in Fiery Collision on Highway 138 in Hesperia
In a harrowing incident on the evening of November 1, 2024, a severe traffic collision on Highway 138 near Hesperia resulted in flames and critical injuries. The accident occurred around 9:00 pm along a dangerous curve of the highway, roughly 1 to 2 miles from the intersection with the I-15 freeway, highlighting the perilous nature of this stretch of road.
Upon arrival, emergency responders were met with a chaotic scene: two vehicles were entirely consumed by fire, and several individuals were found injured on the roadway. Firefighting teams confirmed that five people had sustained critical injuries in the crash. Despite the initial call for a medical helicopter, all victims were eventually transported to nearby hospitals by ground ambulances after the helicopter request was canceled.
