On Wednesday, October 31, 2018 at approximately 7:00 p.m., deputies from the Apple Valley Police Department responded to Bear Valley Road near Central Road reference a vehicle versus pedestrian collision. Upon deputies’ arrival they located a male down in the roadway. The pedestrian was crossing Bear Valley Road in the southbound lane, not in the crosswalk, when he was struck by a 1999 Chevy Suburban.
