BARSTOW, CA – Three Hurt in Head-On Crash on Highway 58 near Mile Marker 7

2 Cars Collide Head-On on Highway 58 in Barstow Leaving 3 People Injured

 
BARSTOW, CA (February 24, 2019) – Three people were hurt following a head-on collision Sunday afternoon in Barstow, according to the California Highway Patrol.
 
The collision happened just after 1:00 p.m. on Highway 58 near mile marker 7.
 
CHP officials said two sedans, both white in color, collided head-on for unknown reasons. After that, the impact caused one of the cars to overturn.
 
A male occupant was found lying on the ground, while two other occupants were trapped inside one vehicle.
 
All three victims were airlifted to a hospital for treatment. The first patient sustained a possible broken nose and internal injuries with a complaint of chest pain, the second patient experienced right leg, abdomen and back tenderness; and the third patient complained of pain to the neck, back and abdomen.
 
All traffic lanes were blocked while evidence from the scene was collected and photographed.
 
An investigation is still ongoing to determine the ultimate cause of the crash and liability.
 
The first most basic preventative precaution for head-on collisions is to pay attention. Even if the other drivers on the road are drowsy, distracted or drunk, you will have more time to react. If you are fully aware of your surroundings, you will be able to see the driver swerving down the road. Maintain a safe speed and only drive when you are alert and sober.
