VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — An accident early Thursday morning has led to the closure of a section of Mariposa Road in Victorville following the death of a pedestrian.

On May 9, 2024, at approximately 10:00 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies from the Victorville Station responded to the incident at the intersection of Locust Ave and Mariposa Road.

When they arrived, they found a blue car parked in a northbound lane on Mariposa Road and a pedestrian lying dead nearby in a southbound lane.

The exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear and it has not been confirmed whether other vehicles were involved.

The area was immediately cordoned off to allow for a detailed investigation by authorities.
