The Victorville Fire Department, AMR, and CHP arrived onscene and located the male driver of the truck under the Chevy sedan, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Based on preliminary reports, it appears the man was outside of the truck changing a tire under the Palmdale Road overpass when he was struck.

The rear passenger-side tire of the truck was on a jack at the time of the collision and a tire was nearby. The truck was visibly loaded with bricks.

Officers were seen pulling at least one beer can out from the woman’s purse, and following the investigation, she was placed in handcuffs and put into the back of the CHP Vehicle.
