According to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, a 19-year-old man suffered major injuries following a two-car crash about 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 2 on Grand Avenue at Snow Creek Drive.
He was hospitalized in critical condition but was upgraded to guarded condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
According to authorities, a woman in the other vehicle was hospitalized with minor injuries. The crash may be the result of the man driving an Acura at excessive speeds southbound on Grand, sheriff’s Sgt. Ernie Vanderporten said.
The man lost control of his vehicle, struck a truck and then continued somewhat southbound and struck a light (pole). The truck, which the Acura hit, was in the left turn lane on Grand and waiting to turn onto Snow Creek.
The Acura’s driver apparently slammed on the brakes prior to the impact. This caused the car to skid sideways and slam driver-side first into the rear of the truck.
