Apple Valley, CA – Amanda Hinman Killed in Fatal Head-On Crash on Bear Valley Rd
Apple Valley, CA (April 15, 2019) On the afternoon of April 14th, a fatal head-on crash happened on Bear Valley Road near Deep Creek Road. The reports reveal that a gray Toyota Sienna was headed eastbound when it veered to the left and crossed into the opposite lane, crashing head-on into a white Chevrolet Blazer. The impact of the crash also caused the Toyota to crash into a white Nissan Rogue. This dangerous collision occurred at around 2:00 p.m.
When the ambulance arrived to help, they found a 28-year-old named Amanda Hinman dead at the crash site. They found the driver of the Toyota suffering from major injuries and called a helicopter to transport the injured victim to Loma Linda University Medical Center for immediate treatment. They took the driver of the Chevrolet to St. Mary Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. They also took the driver of the Nissan to the same hospital for treatment, while the passengers in the Nissan received treatment for minor injuries.
Officials are currently investigating the deadly crash to figure out why the Toyota veered into oncoming traffic.
We wish Amanda Hinman’s family well as they mourn her loss. We also hope the remaining injured victims recover successfully.
Head-On Collisions in California
In 2014, over 17,000 vehicle accidents were head-on in California. These accidents are more likely to occur in urban areas rather than in busy cities because urban areas contain fewer traffic signs making it more difficult for drivers to discern which lanes are the correct lanes to drive in. Drunk drivers are also more likely to cause head-on collisions because it’s easier for them to drive in the wrong direction when they’re minds are impaired.
