HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — One person was killed and three others were airlifted following a head-on traffic collision in Hesperia.
The crash involving a silver 2019 Nissan Versa and a gray 2005 Honda Civic happened on Monday, August 16th at about 2:25 am, along the 10200 block of Hesperia Road near Mojave Street.
