Yucca Valley fire fighters were busy yesterday. About 1:45 p.m., fire fighters were called to a vehicle fire on the highway between Palm and Grand Avenues. An eastbound VW had caught on fire for unknown reasons, and the station’s newly assigned probationary fire fighters put the fire out in a few minutes. The mother and her son escaped from the fire safely.
Then a half hour later, rescue personnel were called to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Onaga Trail and Joshua Lane involving an F150 Ford truck and a Honda. The F150 blocked both lanes of Onaga Trail for about 45 minutes. One person from the Honda was taken to Hi-Desert Medical Center with a complaint of pain. Jeffrey Mosley, 53, was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence of drugs, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, and released about 8 p.m.
