ROSAMOND, CA, (July 31, 2025) - A head-on collision in Rosamond Thursday afternoon claimed one life and left another person seriously injured, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Jonathon Rubio was hospitalized with major injuries after a two-vehicle crash on Rosamond Boulevard Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The crash occurred around 2:20 p.m. on Rosamond Boulevard, just west of 45th Street, when a 2016 Hyundai and a 2004 Honda traveling in opposite directions collided.
The driver of the Hyundai was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital but later succumbed to their injuries. Their identity has not yet been released.
Jonathon Rubio, the driver of the Honda, sustained major injuries and was also taken to Antelope Valley Hospital for treatment.
Authorities have urged anyone with information about the crash to contact CHP at (661) 823-5500. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Every year, millions are injured in U.S. traffic crashes—many with life-altering consequences. Approximately 2.2 million were injured in motor vehicle accidents in 2023 across the country, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
While the cause and liability of the crash are being investigated, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said that it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney.
“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for The Legal Advocate.
“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Pending the results of the investigation, Jonathon Rubio may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting every part of a victim’s life — from family and work to finances and overall well-being.
“It is essential for injury victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as legal representation ensures effective negotiation with insurance companies,” Bond said.
“Insurers often attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements for far less than they deserve. An experienced attorney will advocate aggressively to make sure clients are treated fairly and receive full and just compensation.”
