The release also stated, “The Hesperia Station Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) responded to conduct the investigation. It was determined that the victim had been traveling north on Peach Ave. near Orange St. in her 1991 Honda at an undetermined speed when she failed to negotiate the curve in the roadway, losing control and hitting the tree. The impact caused the victim’s vehicle to separate into two pieces around the tree, trapping the victim inside.

Peach Ave. was closed in the area for about 4 hours while investigators processed the scene for evidence and removed the vehicle from the scene. At this time the exact cause of the collision is still under investigation by the Hesperia Station MAIT Investigators.
