On Tuesday night, a pedestrian died after being struck by a car on Highway 138 in Victorville. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the collision occurred near Sheep Creek Road around 8 p.m. when a white Ford Fusion sedan hit the pedestrian while crossing the road.
The driver stayed at the scene and was cooperating, police said. The incident remains under investigation by the CHP Victorville Office.
Pedestrian crashes on state highways are often especially dangerous because vehicles are traveling at higher speeds and drivers may not expect people to be crossing outside of marked intersections. Limited lighting and reduced visibility at night can further increase the risk of a serious or fatal collision. These incidents frequently result in severe injuries due to the force of impact and the lack of physical protection for pedestrians.
