1300+A 69-year-old Apple Valley man suffered major injuries Monday afternoon after a Ford pickup truck turned left in front of his motorcycle, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
The crash happened around 4:56 p.m. on September 14, 2026, at the intersection of Marigold Street and Apple Valley Road.
How the Crash Happened
Deputies from the Apple Valley Station and crews from the Apple Valley Fire Protection District responded to the scene.
Investigators say a 22-year-old Adelanto man was driving a 2006 Ford F-150 towing a Carson trailer southbound on Apple Valley Road, approaching Marigold Street.
At the same time, a 2019 Harley-Davidson motorcycle was traveling northbound on Apple Valley Road toward the same intersection. The pickup made a left turn directly into the motorcycle’s path, causing the two vehicles to collide.
Extent of the Injuries
The motorcyclist sustained major injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. No other injuries were reported in connection with the crash.
The Apple Valley Police Station is asking anyone with information about the collision to come forward. Witnesses can call the station at 760-240-7400 or Sheriff’s Dispatch at 760-956-5001. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the We-Tip Hotline at 844-909-3006.
Left-Turn Collisions and Motorcyclist Safety
Left-turn and U-turn crashes are among the most common and most dangerous types of motorcycle accidents. Because motorcycles are smaller and harder to judge in speed and distance, drivers turning left at intersections often misjudge an oncoming rider’s position, resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
