Is Dangerous Victorville Intersection to Blame for Major Accident?

Sep 28,2016

Two people were airlifted with serious injuries after their vehicle was struck in a major accident in Victorville earlier this month. The crash happened at 4:15 p.m. at the intersection of Nisqualli Road and First Avenue. Authorities say the driver of a Toyota Tundra heading north on First Avenue was attempting a lefthand turn onto Nisqualli Road when she struck a Scion XB heading east on Nisqualli Road.

The crash impact sent the Scion flying into a fence at the Casa Bella Apartments. The two women in the vehicle were airlifted to trauma centers for serious injuries. The driver of the Tundra and her passenger were uninjured in the crash.

According to the Tundra driver, she attempted to turn left as another eastbound vehicle was turning right onto First Avenue, but the Scion went around that vehicle to continue east on Nisqualli Road.

There is no traffic signal at the intersection. Earlier this year a child was hit by a vehicle while crossing the same intersection. Last year, two people were killed when a crash at the intersection sent their vehicle into the same apartment complex fence.

“With these major crashes occurring at this intersection, it seems clear that something needs to be done to improve the safety of this roadway,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
