HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A 27-year-old male motorcyclist from Hesperia was killed in an early morning crash Wednesday morning in Hesperia.

It happened on September 28, 2022, at about 5:30 am, on Summit Valley Road, just south of Silverwood Street and Trout Street.

According to the California Highway Patrol Victorville station, the crash involved a 2000 Ducati 750SS motorcycle and a 2013 Hyundai Elantra driven by a 23-year-old female driver from Fontana.
