![[02-07-2025] Three Killed, Three Injured After Head-On Crash on El Mirage Road in Adelanto](https://ak1.to//ow4KM.webp)
Three people were killed, and three others sustained injuries in a head-on collision on the outskirts of Adelanto early Friday morning, February 7, 2025.
According to authorities, the crash occurred at approximately 5:38 a.m. on El Mirage Road, west of Koala Road.
The collision involved a red Honda sedan, occupied by a single driver, and a dark-gray 2001 Chevy Tahoe carrying five passengers. The driver of the Honda and two occupants of the Tahoe, including a rear passenger, were pronounced dead at the scene.
A Reach medical helicopter transported one male passenger from the SUV to Antelope Valley Hospital due to life-threatening injuries. The remaining two occupants of the SUV were taken to local hospitals by ground ambulances.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the SUV was traveling westbound while the sedan was heading eastbound when, for unknown reasons, the sedan crossed into the opposing lane, causing the crash.
El Mirage Road was closed in both directions between Richardson Avenue and Koala Road for several hours as authorities conducted their investigation.
The San Bernardino County Coroner has been notified, and the identities of the victims will be released pending next-of-kin notification. The investigation remains ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
