The crash occurred at approximately 4:46 p.m. near 15059 La Paz Drive, in front of the former Verizon building, where the road curves between Redondo Drive and Plaza Drive.

The Victorville Fire Department responded to the scene, along with deputies from the Victorville Police Department. Southern California Edison was also dispatched due to the downed light pole.
