Hesperia, CA – Rosa Saucedo-Negrete Loses Life in Mariposa Rd Crash

Hesperia, CA (February 22, 2024) – Emergency crews were requested at the scene of a major motor vehicle accident in his spare area that claimed the life of 59-year-old Rosa Saucedo-Negrete. The accident occurred at around 3:40 p.m. on February 20.

Reports provided by authorities show that 45-year-old Pavlo Padilla was driving a black 2016 Chevrolet Suburban north on Mariposa Road. For unknown reasons, his vehicle collided with a blue 2005 Toyota Corolla near Mesquite Street.

The driver of the Toyota, 58-year-old Pedro Valencia-Perez, and his passenger, 22-year-old Jose Valencia-Saucedo, were both pronounced deceased on-site by responding authorities. One additional victim, identified as Saucedo-Negrete, was rushed to an area trauma center, where she passed away from her injuries.

Another victim, 21-year-old Francisco Valencia-Saucedo, was rushed to an area hospital and admitted in critical condition.

Investigations into the crash are ongoing.

We hope all of the injured victims recover quickly following this crash.

Fatal Car Accidents in California

Fatal accidents in 2023 claimed the lives of more than 4400 people in California. Fatal crashes across our state often occur due to negligence. Some of the leading causes include:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or engaging in other distracting activities while driving can significantly impair a driver’s ability to respond appropriately to changing road conditions.
• Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a concern in California. Alcohol impairs judgment, reflexes, and reaction time, making it extremely dangerous to operate a motor vehicle.
• Speeding: Speeding is a leading cause of accidents on all roads, including highways and city streets. Excessive speed significantly reduces reaction time and significantly increases the likelihood of collisions.
