A 67-year-old Victorville man died after crashing his pickup truck into a car at an intersection on Friday afternoon, authorities said.
The deadly crash took place just after 5 p.m. June 5 at Amethyst Road and Northstar Avenue.
Preliminary investigation determined the man had been driving a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck north on Amethyst Road, approaching the intersection, which is regulated by four-way stop signs, just prior to the crash, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a written statement.
“The S-10 traveled into opposing lanes, ran the stop sign at the intersection and crashed into a white Infiniti Q50 stopped at the intersection,” according to the statement.
Paramedics took the driver of the pickup truck to a hospital, where he later died. His identity was not yet released by coroner’s officials.
A man who had been driving the Infiniti was treated for minor injuries, sheriff’s officials said.
The roadway was shut down for about three hours due to the investigation.
Anyone witnesses, or anyone with information, can reach the Victorville Police Department at (760) 241-2911. Information may also be provided anonymously to the WeTip hotline at (844) 909-3096.
