Two vehicles overturned in the three-vehicle crash, which happened around 8:03 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, on Sierra Highway, south of Avenue B, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
The now deceased motorist had been driving a 2017 Nissan Sentra northbound on Sierra Highway when he “unsafely entered the southbound lane and proceeded to overtake” a 2008 Honda Pilot that was traveling directly ahead of him, the CHP report states.
The Nissan Sentra then crashed head-on into a 2001 Toyota 4-Runner that was southbound on Sierra Highway, and the Nissan Sentra careened out of control and overturned on the east road edge right shoulder, the CHP report states. The Nissan Sentra’s driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and sustained fatal injuries, according to the CHP report. His name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, but he was a 29-year-old man from Inglewood, the CHP report states.
The Toyota 4-Runner also overturned as a result of the head-on collision, and was hit by the Honda Pilot, according to the CHP report. The Toyota 4-Runner’s driver, 62-year-old Clifton Vial of Rosamond, sustained moderate injuries, including a broken left big toe, according to the CHP report.
The occupants in the Honda Pilot, 28-year-old Vanessa Aguilar (driver) and her 39-year-old female passenger, both from Rosamond, also sustained moderate injuries, according to the CHP report.
“The involvement of alcohol and/or drugs is not suspected at this time,” the CHP report states.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact Officer S. Breen #21361 at the Antelope Valley CHP Office at 661-948-8541.

As it turns out there are many people too much in a hurry to wait to pass another vehicle. Especially if the road is marked as a no passing zone. Got to watch for other drivers not just yourself now on any road you travel.

I saw it from a distance I was sitting in the desert talking to my friend who lives right there a what it looked like a small car passing a SUV and the SUV speed up so the car couldn’t pass and another SUV or a truck coming from the other way didn’t have time to move over or speed up they hit head on and when he did that he hit the SUV that wouldn’t let him pass but I was not real close so I couldn’t tell u what kind of cars they were or the color u can hear and see no problem what was going on
lil steph says
I fear for future generation now that this happened
Keiona says
Look at the front of the car you think lights gone survive that they broke crazy
Nuffsaid says
Because the driver turned on his headlights just prior to turning on to Sierra Highway, the same time he put his seat belt on. Said driver also had a dog in vehicle which ejected at point of impact and was found at the crash site the next morning by good Samaritans who returned the dog to the owner. The dog was not injured.
Alfred says
Well I was not a witness at all, but going from the pictures, the black car on the shoulder has it’s lights on, but the white SUV in the road does not. Granted the whole front end is smashed so they may have been on, but I know the Sentra couldn’t have tourned his on after he crashed
Nuffsaid says
The white SUV had its headlight switch on and headlights off at the time because it was in a head on collision. Ya figure?
Stop trying to project you have no clue says
There are no lights on anything except for the emergency vehicles… you were not there so DO NOT create rumors or stories.
Stan says
Tay, I’m curious, how did you know the white truck’s lights were not on?
Dude driving it was my little brother; he says the Sentra driver was not using his lights.

“The involvement of alcohol and/or drugs is not suspected at this time,”
It appear a high degree of stupidity and reckless endangerment caused the accident
We are having a pandemic of stupidity in the Antelope Valley
Vanessa Clayton says
No it is not stupidity, it is carelessness, and that is a life that was taking dummy.
Exav says
A minute late in this life or early to the next life.
CA needs better education.. says
Pandemic Stupidity?? That’s just normal live in CA… Californians are not very smart…
East Lancaster says
I don’t know about Californians not being very smart, but the majority of people who vote in Lancaster city elections are morons.
Tim Scott says
I think most of the few who vote are on the take and getting their money’s worth. It’s the vast majority that DON’T vote and leave the city in the hands of the corrupt that I think are the morons.
America's Most Derisive of Lancaster Voters says
Well said. Voter apathy and laziness keeps Wrecks, the corrupt ambulance chaser, in office, SMH.
Head-On says
That was the last dangerous pass for the Nissan Sentra driver.
