Authorities offered new details on a fatal crash that shook Lucerne Valley, an especially striking tragedy for the small community due to its location.
Kristy Klaus and Kayden Davis, both sophomores at Lucerne Valley Middle/High School, died in a car crash on Friday at the intersection of State Route 247 and Camp Rock Road.
A celebration of life for Willow Sanchez, 11, was held in Lucerne Valley on Friday, June 11, 2021, nearly a week after she and two other girls were killed by a hit-and-run driver.
Three girls were killed and a fourth is in critical condition after a hit-and-run driver struck the group, two of whom were in wheelchairs, as they walked along a rural San Bernardino County road Saturday night, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

One by one, students arrived at Lucerne Valley Elementary School this week. Before entering the campus, a staff member handed masks to students who needed one. They then had their temperatures checked as they made their way to their classrooms.
One of the first districts to reopen last August in a hybrid mode, the small district in Southern California’s high desert is now among the latest across the state where all 840 students through high school have the option to attend classes in person for five days each week.
