A 3-year-old boy sustained severe injuries after being struck by a vehicle in an Adelanto neighborhood on Sunday evening, April 6, 2025.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. in the 10800 block of Bonanza Road, between Hill Way and Reiman Street.
Emergency crews from AMR, San Bernardino County Fire, and deputies from the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to the scene.
Due to the severity of the child’s injuries, a California Highway Patrol helicopter (H-82) landed at a nearby park near Bellflower Street and Seneca Road to airlift him to a trauma center.
According to Mara Rodriguez, Public Information Officer with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the pedestrian was a 3-year-old boy. Additional information about the circumstances will be released once the investigation is complete.
Neighbors reported that the child was unattended when he ran into the roadway and was struck by a vehicle driven by another neighbor.
Approximately 10 family members arrived at the location about 10 minutes later, stating the boy was autistic and they were unsure how he managed to leave the home.
The investigation into the incident is 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.
