HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) bus was involved in a traffic accident Thursday morning in Hesperia.
It happened on February 23, 2023, at about 8:13 am, in the 19200 block of Rock Springs Road. The crash involved the VVTA bus, a Chevrolet Traverse, and a silver Subaru.
VVNG Facebook member Kristen Parker commented and said she was driving behind the bus that she let merge in front of her. “Seconds later a black Chevy traveling the opposite way suddenly crossed the center lane into our lane and [the] bus driver tried to avoid [a] front-end collision,” stated Parker.

“Initial reports appear that a passenger car crossed lanes and operator in an effort to avoid a head-on collision, appears to have been sideswiped and then drove [the] bus off into a yard, all to avoid greater damage to others,” stated VVTA officials.
VVTA confirmed no passengers were on board the bus and the driver of the Chevy car was taken to a hospital. The other parties involved in the collision did not report any injuries.
VVNG member Jenna Mendoza commented and said “this was a crazy accident to see the aftermath of. Close call for the bus driver and glad all involved are safe. Could’ve been a lot worse.”

UPDATE at 2:20 pm — Sheriff’s officials said during the investigation, it was discovered the Chevrolet was westbound on Rock Springs Road and for unknown reasons veered into the eastbound number one lane, where the VVTA bus was located. The Chevrolet sideswiped the bus causing the bus to collide into multiple chain link fences and trees, in the yards of nearby residences. The Chevrolet came to rest in the yard of a nearby residence. The Subaru sustained damage from debris resulting from the collision.
