APPLE VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG.com) —A stretch of Bear Valley Road was closed for a couple of hours after a pedestrian was fatally struck Monday night.

On May 4, 2020, at 8:37 p.m., the Apple Valley Fire Department, AMR, and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the call in the 21500 block of Bear Valley Road.
