Victorville, CA (September 30, 2025) – Earlier this month, a devastating hit-and-run accident resulted in the death of 39-year-old Isaac Ismael Cortez from Whittier, as reported by the California Highway Patrol. The fatal crash took place at approximately 1:44 a.m. On September 16, near the La Mesa/Nisqualli Road exit on northbound Interstate 15, an incident started due to a collision between a semi-truck and a white pickup truck, according to officials. The collision caused the pickup to flip over onto its roof in the right lane, as the semi-truck started to spill fuel across the lanes of traffic. Shortly after, Cortez was hit by another vehicle while in the northbound lanes of the interstate. The driver responsible for the subsequent collision left the scene, heading north without stopping to assist. The California Highway Patrol is currently looking into the hit-and-run incident and is trying to determine the identity of the vehicle and its driver. As of this report, no arrests have taken place. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Isaac Ismael Cortez during this difficult period. Those who have details about the incident are encouraged to reach out to law enforcement.
