Four people were hospitalized following a head-on crash in Yucca Valley Tuesday night. Just after 8 p.m., a 2017 Toyota attempted to pass another vehicle traveling southbound on Old Woman Springs Road near New Horizons when it crashed head-on into a 2007 Kia traveling northbound. County Fire Battalion Chief Donnie Viloria said a back seat passenger in one of the cars, identified only as being a woman in her 50s, was critically injured. The male driver of her car, in his 70s, and another female passenger in her 40s, as well as the male driver of the other car, also in his 70s, were all out of their cars when paramedics arrived. All four people were taken to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs. The Sheriff’s Department is investigating the crash.
