VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) A stretch of Mariposa Road was shut down following a single-vehicle rollover crash here Monday evening in Victorville.
The traffic accident was reported at 7:18 p.m. near the intersection of Tamarisk Avenue and Mariposa Road. Passerby’s witnessed the crash and immediately ran to the aid of a young man inside the vehicle and called 911.
“The car was traveling northbound on the 15 freeway and veered off the freeway and crashed into the pole causing the transformer to explode,” stated Geraldine Del Villar who witnessed the crash.
When San Bernardino County Fire and AMR arrived they located the single vehicle on its roof with damage to a power pole.
