The stretch of Old Woman Springs Road that connects Johnson Valley and Landers is a particularly dangerous stretch of state road that has seen numerous collisions in the last five years. Traffic on the two-lane road is particularly heavy this week on account of the King of the Hammers off-roading event happening in Johnson Valley which attracts thousands of spectators, many of whom travel with their own OHVs.
