I-15 Crash:
HESPERIA, Calif. — A motorcyclist injured in a Tuesday night accident involving a truck on the I-15 freeway in Hesperia remains hospitalized and is expected to recover.
The accident occurred shortly after 10:00 PM on July 23, 2024, on the southbound I-15, just south of the Main Street offramp in Hesperia.
According to a witness, the truck suffered a blown tire, causing the hood and front bumper to detach and hit the side of the vehicle. “The truck itself nearly hit our car, but our mom sped up, avoiding the freeway wall,” stated the witness.
The motorcyclist was thrown from his bike, suffering road rash and other injuries. California Highway Patrol officers temporarily stopped traffic to allow paramedics to attend to the motorcyclist, who was then transported by ambulance to a nearby landing zone.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department requested a helicopter to airlift the motorcyclist to a trauma center. Mercy Air subsequently transported the injured motorcyclist to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
The motorcyclist had just left Desert Valley Hospital, where he bid farewell to his best friend Anthony Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a 22-year-old resident of Victorville, had passed away from injuries sustained in a separate motorcycle accident earlier that night at Maple Avenue and Sycamore Street in Hesperia.
