HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — An 18-year-old girl is recovering after her arm was crushed during an OHV accident in a desert area west of Hesperia Lakes.
It happened on September 20, 2022, at about 2:20 pm, and involved a 2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 that was traveling on the gas line road, west of Arrowhead Lake Road and south of Calpella Avenue, an area where off-highway vehicle (OHV) traffic is prohibited, officials said.
Through preliminary investigation, it is believed the driver identified as Marisol Aguilar lost control and the Can-Am rolled over, coming to rest on the driver’s side.
“The driver’s arm was crushed between the vehicle roll cage and the ground, resulting in major injuries to her arm. She was flown to a trauma center for treatment. Two passengers in the vehicle, an adult male and a 2-year-old child, were not injured during the crash,” stated sheriff’s officials.
Investigators from the Hesperia Station, Traffic Division responded and handled the investigation. It does not appear drugs or alcohol were a factor in this crash.
