Two teenagers were killed in a three‑vehicle hit‑and‑run collision on Ridgecrest Road near Elmwood Drive in Victorville, California, Friday night. The crash occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m., prompting an immediate response from the California Highway Patrol.
According to the investigation, a green Acura TL pulled out to the left while a yellow Chevrolet Camaro and a black Dodge Charger were traveling north on Ridgecrest Road at high speed. The sudden maneuver by the Acura caused the two northbound vehicles to collide with it, resulting in a fatal impact. All three vehicles were involved in the crash, which was classified as a hit‑and‑run because the drivers of the Camaro and Charger did not stop at the scene.
The California Highway Patrol arrived shortly after the incident and secured the area. Officers confirmed that the two teenage victims died at the scene. The CHP is conducting a thorough investigation to determine the precise cause of the collision and to identify the drivers of the vehicles involved. No additional injuries were reported, and no other parties were reported missing.
