Female Driver Killed in Crash at Old Woman Springs Road and Barstow Road Intersection

LUCERNE VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG) — A woman was killed following a two-vehicle crash Monday night at the intersection of Old Woman Springs Road and Barstow Road. It happened on April 7, 2025, at approximately 9:26 p.

m., when the Barstow Dispatch Center (BDC) received reports of a traffic collision involving an ambulance responding to a call in the area. Officers from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Victorville Area, along with personnel from the San Bernardino County Fire Department, responded to the scene and located the involved vehicles: a black Chrysler 200 and a red Freightliner truck pulling a white Stoughton box trailer, which was blocking the intersection.



First responders found a solo female driver inside the Chrysler. Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced deceased at the scene. Her identity has not yet been released by the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office.

According to a preliminary investigation, the Chrysler was traveling eastbound on Old Woman Springs Road at a high rate of speed when it collided with the Freightliner truck. Investigators said the Freightliner was traveling northbound on Barstow Road and had entered the intersection after coming to a stop at the stop sign. For reasons still under investigation, the Chrysler driver failed to stop at the stop sign-controlled intersection and struck the left side of the trailer.

The investigation remains ongoing and is being handled by the CHP Victorville Area Office. Anyone with information is urged to contact Officer H. Poulsen at (760) 241-1186.
