HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A busy stretch of Mariposa Road in the City of Hesperia was closed in both directions Monday afternoon after a pickup truck crashed into a utility pole.
The single-vehicle crash was reported at 3:49 p.m. on December 22, 2025, at the intersection of Eucalyptus Street and Mariposa Road, a well-traveled route that runs parallel to the I-15 freeway and serves as a key connector for local commuters.
For reasons still unknown, a dark-colored GMC pickup truck collided with a wooden utility pole, splintering the base, causing the pole to lean, and leaving debris scattered at the scene.
The truck sustained heavy front-end damage, and yellow caution tape was used to cordon off the impacted area.
Southern California Edison crews were requested to assess and repair the damaged infrastructure.
As a result of the crash, northbound Mariposa Road was closed at Mesa Street, and southbound lanes were shut down at Turko Avenue.
According to radio traffic, only minor injuries were reported in the incident.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes as utility crews continue to work on repairs.
