There were three occupants inside the Ford truck, a man, a woman, and an infant. The infant sustained a head injury and all three were transported by helicopter to area hospitals.

“We do believe the Lincoln car crossed over the double yellow line and was in the eastbound lanes of traffic when the collision occurred,” stated Sgt. Doug Hubbard.
“We also determined that there had been a large Pit Bull in the Lincoln Continental that had been ejected from the vehicle, and suffered some serious injuries.”
Hesperia Animal Control responded and took possession of the dog. The extent of those injuries are unknown.
