Authorities are investigating after a driver died in a crash involving a deputy in San Bernardino County Saturday.

At around 4 p.m., a deputy from the Apple Valley Police Department responded to a service call while activating emergency lights and sirens.

The deputy was driving westbound on Bear Valley Road. That’s when a driver in a Toyota Corolla, who was turning left into a parking lot, collided with the deputy, officials said.

The collision killed the Toyota driver on impact and left the deputy with minor injuries.

Video from the scene showed both vehicles were left with severe front-end damage. Bystanders were seen surrounding the crash site which was bordered by shopping plazas on both sides.

The Toyota driver was only identified as a male. His name was not released. The injured deputy was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Bear Valley Road was closed to traffic between Kiowa Road and Snapping Turtle for several hours while authorities worked to clear the debris.

The deadly crash remains under investigation.

A convicted felon was arrested after pistol-whipping his neighbor and being found in possession of 17 firearms. 

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the victim – whose identity has not been released – was riding his dirt bike in front of his residence in the 20100 block of Piedmont Drive in Apple Valley just before 8:45 p.m. on Thursday when he was flagged down by his neighbor. 

The neighbor, identified by deputies as 42-year-old Kenny Lattinville, allegedly pulled out a handgun and pistol-whipped the victim, who left his dirt bike in the roadway and ran back to his home to call 911. 

He sustained “a visible injury consistent with the assault,” SBSD said. 

Responding deputies quickly contacted Lattinville, who was said to be standing in his front yard with a rifle and a handgun yelling towards the victim’s residence, and were able to arrest him without any further incident. 

“A search warrant was authored for Lattinville’s residence…inside the residence, deputies located and seized 17 firearms,” law enforcement officials stated. 

Lattinville, a convicted felon, was booked into the High Desert Detention Center for assault with a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held in lieu of $140,000 bail. 

Anyone who may have information regarding the incident is asked to contact Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station Detective S. Bowman by calling 760-552-6800.

Video shows a wild street takeover in downtown Los Angeles coming to a fiery conclusion overnight. 

Preliminary information from stringer service OnSceneTV indicates the takeover occurred at the intersection of 18^th and Main streets before 3 a.m. Saturday. 

A Log Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed the location and stated that upwards of 50 cars were present.

Officers were originally dispatched on calls of fireworks being lit, the spokesperson added.

The sideshow, which was attended by hundreds of people, ended with two vehicles ablaze in the middle of the intersection; it was not immediately clear if they were deliberately set on fire or if they caught fire due to another source. 

Traffic was seen maneuvering around the inferno and while some motorists honked their horns, others seemed to drive by as if all were normal. 

Los Angeles Fire Department crews attempting to extinguish the flames were hampered by the crowds and vehicles, who blocked their access to the burning vehicles, but they were eventually able to put the fire out within ten minutes. 

No arrests were made, LAPD said. What was left of both cars was impounded.
