Five Twentynine Palms residents were injured in a roll-over crash on Amboy Road Monday night. According to CHP Officer Ryan Swanson, Erik Bryant, 23, was driving a 2010 Dodge Avenger southbound on Amboy Road, north of Bell King Road, when he lost control on a curve about 11:40 p.m. The car left the road and overturned in the desert west of Amboy Road. Scott King, 21, who was in the right front seat, was not wearing his seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle. He was flown by helicopter to Loma Linda Medical Center with moderate injuries. Alyssa Canales, 23, and Alissa Myers, 25, were both in the back seat and were flown via helicopter to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs. Bryant and Joshua Bowling, 21, who was also in the back seat, both suffered minor injuries and were taken by ambulance to Desert Hospital. Officer Swanson reminds motorists to slow down, and to resist the urge to quickly jerk the steering wheel back toward the pavement if the car drifts off the pavement. Instead, slowly steer the vehicle back onto the pavement.
