Two people were killed in a single-vehicle crash on Central Road near Waalew Road in Apple Valley, San Bernardino County, early Wednesday morning, April 9, 2025.
According to the Apple Valley Fire Protection District, at around 12:01 a.m., emergency crews were initially dispatched to a reported crash near Navajo Road and Waalew Road. Upon arrival, it was determined the crash occurred on Central Road, south of Waalew Road near a curve.
Preliminary reports indicate that a dark-colored Dodge Charger was traveling northbound on Central Road when it left the roadway for unknown reasons. The vehicle crossed a desert field, struck a wooden utility pole, and came to rest near Walpi Road.
American Medical Response and Medic Engine 332 were dispatched but later canceled after deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed at least two fatalities.
Firefighters returned around 5:00 a.m. to assist with extricating at least one of the occupants. Southern California Edison crews responded to repair the damaged utility pole.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
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.
