UPDATE – Sheriff’s officials said the deceased is a 67-year-old female, resident of Spring Valley Lake. Her identity has not been released.

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A woman was killed and a man injured in a two-vehicle crash that shut down a stretch of Ridgecrest Road in Victorville on Thursday afternoon.

The collision was reported at approximately 1:00 p.m. on November 13, 2025, at the intersection of Ridgecrest Road and Elmwood Drive. It involved a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup and a gray Kia Seltos SUV.

According to authorities, the woman, who was driving the Kia, was ejected during the crash and pronounced deceased at the scene. The man driving the Chevrolet sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Witnesses reported that he appeared “very distraught.”

Both drivers were the sole occupants of their respective vehicles.

According to preliminary information, the SUV was entering Ridgecrest Road from Elmwood Drive, which is controlled by a stop sign, when it was involved in a collision with the northbound truck. A witness stated that the Kia SUV rolled multiple times following the impact.

Ridgecrest Road is currently closed in both directions between Pebble Beach Drive and Bluff Crest Street. The roadway is expected to remain shut down for several hours as authorities investigate the cause of the crash.

Many residents have expressed concern over the dangerous conditions on Ridgecrest Road. A resident told VVNG that vehicles often speed “at 80 mph” and said, “it’s very dangerous trying to exit from either the community of Spring Valley Lake or Spring Valley Ridge.” Residents say they want the city to install four-way stop signs or traffic signal lights to improve safety in the area.

The identity of the deceased woman will be released by authorities pending notification of next of kin.

This is a developing story and additional details will be updated as they become available.
