Two people were sent to the hospital Wednesday, including one airlift, after a head-on San Francisquito Canyon Road crash, officials said.
On Wednesday around 6:10 a.m., first responders received reports of a head-on traffic collision on San Francisquito Canyon Road near Lake Elizabeth Road, said Austin Bennett, a spokesperson with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“It was a head-on crash involving a public works vehicle and a sedan,” Bennett said.
When units arrived on the scene, they reported one person was trapped in one of the vehicles and requested a helicopter to respond, according to Fire officials.
“One trauma patient was airlifted to a local trauma center,” Bennett said.
A second patient was transported by ground to the hospital.
Palmdale Sheriff’s deputies are encouraging those who commute on canyon roads to “slow down.”
“Your life is not worth placing at risk to get to a destination faster,” Palmdale Sheriff’s officials wrote in a statement.
The condition of the two patients is unknown as of Wednesday morning, according to Fire officials.
