SUMMARY: On Monday, July 28, 2025, at about 10:00 p.m., deputies from the Hesperia Police Department and emergency personnel from the San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a traffic collision in the area of Main Street and Escondido Avenue, in the city of Hesperia. The collision involved a 2018 Tesla and a bicycle.
Through preliminary investigation, it is believed the Tesla traveled west in the number two lane on Main Street, east of Escondido Avenue, while the bicyclist traveled in the middle of the number two lane without lights on. The driver of the Tesla saw the bicyclist too late and was unable to swerve out of the way due to other vehicles on the roadway. The driver struck the bicyclist, knocked him off the bicycle and into a nearby field. The driver pulled over and immediately called 911, and stayed on scene. The bicyclist sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Investigators from the Hesperia Police Department Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) responded and assumed the investigation. Drugs and/or alcohol were not a factor in this collision. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is urged to contact Deputy E. Harrison at the Hesperia Police Department at 760-947-1500.
