Victorville Woman Pronounced Dead after Head-On Collision near Quinnault Road
APPLE VALLEY, CA (December 30, 2024) – Monday evening, a DUI collision on Highway 18 claimed the life of Samantha Haun.
Authorities responded to the scene around 8:00 p.m., just east of Quinnault Road.
Investigators say the driver of a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander was heading west in the eastbound lanes. Consequently, the Highlander collided head-on with an oncoming 2016 Honda Civic.
First responders declared the Civic driver dead at the scene. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department later identified the victim as 30-year-old Samantha Haun, also known as Alex Robles.
Meanwhile, paramedics transported the Mitsubishi driver, 45-year-old Vicente Zuniga-Medina, of Hesperia to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
