VICTORVILLE, CA : Hesperia woman accused of DUI and hit-and-run crashes into back of tractor-trailer on Monday, 13th August 2018

A woman accused of driving under the influence crashed into a tractor-trailer while reportedly fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run here early Monday morning.

Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Victorville Station responded to the intersection of Bear Valley and Mariposa roads at approximately 12:37 a.m. for a collision involving a Honda Accord and tractor-trailer.

According to authorities, the driver of the Honday, Alana Marie Joerger, 36, of Hesperia, failed to stop at a red light while traveling south on Mariposa Road and “collided with the trailer section of the semi-truck traveling east on Bear Valley Road.”

The front of the Honda became lodged under the trailer and San Bernardino County Fire Department personnel had to extricate Joerger, who suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a trauma center for treatment.

“During the investigation, deputies discovered just prior to the collision with the semi-truck, Joerger had been involved in a collision in a parking lot on Mariposa Road,” sheriff’s officials said.
