Adelanto, CA - Motorcyclist Seriously Injured in Crash at Mojave Dr & Jonathan St

Adelanto, CA (June 20, 2025) – A motorcyclist was airlifted to a trauma center after a crash that took place on Friday night in the city of Adelanto.

It happened at about 9:08 p.m. on June 20 at the intersection of Mojave Drive and Jonathan Street. Emergency personnel with the San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to the crash and requested an airship to transport the injured rider. Mercy Air 2 landed at Desert Trails Park, located at 14429 Vista del Sol Lane, and flew the rider to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

The impact of the crash caused significant damage to the motorcycle and at least two other vehicles. Tow trucks were called to remove the debris from the scene.

Authorities have not said whether drugs or alcohol were suspected. The California Highway Patrol is handling the investigation. The intersection was partly blocked during the investigation and cleanup. No additional updates on the motorcyclist’s condition have been released.

We’re hoping for the injured rider’s fast and complete recovery.

Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcycle crashes account for a disproportionate number of severe injuries and fatalities across California, especially in urban environments with high traffic density. Riders are more vulnerable than car occupants, often suffering serious harm at intersections like the one at Olympic and Norton. Nighttime wrecks are even more dangerous, as limited visibility and driver inattention raise the risk dramatically.

Below are some key factors that often contribute to motorcycle collisions:

• Limited Visibility at Night: Darkness reduces driver awareness, and motorcycles can be hard to spot until it’s too late, especially near well‑lit roads where glare and shadows compete.
• Speeding and Rapid Lane Changes: Riders and drivers both may misjudge space or time during fast maneuvers, leading to clashes at intersections.
• Distracted Driving: It takes just a second for a driver looking at a phone or dashboard to veer into a rider’s path.
• Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way: Drivers sometimes turn or merge without seeing motorcycles, leading to sudden, hard-to-avoid collisions.
