Redlands Woman, 22, Injured in Yucaipa Head-On Crash, Dies at Loma Linda MC

The two-vehicle collision occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at Bryant Street and Topaz Street, just east of Mill Creek Road, according to the coroner.

A Redlands woman was fatally injured in a two-vehicle collision Tuesday night on Bryant Street just east of Mill Creek Road in Yucaipa, coroner's officials said.

Alora Leigh Salter, 22, was transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where she was pronounced deceased at 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, coroner's officials said.

Salter was driving a 1997 Honda Civic north on Bryant Street near Topaz Street, less than a mile from the Mill Creek Ranger Station, "when the Honda drifted into the southbound lane for an unknown reason," according to a coroner's statement.

"A southbound 2004 Toyota Avalon was unable to avoid a collision and struck the Honda head-on," the statement said. Salter "was extricated and transported to Loma Linda Univeristy Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at 12:25 AM on 5/23/12."

A coroner's spokeswoman released Salter's name Wednesday afternoon in a phone interview.

The driver of the other vehicle, Jack Moser, 77, of Yucaipa, was also transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center, sheriff's officials said in a statement. He was said to be in stable condition with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The San Bernardino County sheriff's Major Accident Investigation Team was assigned to the collision.

If you want to know what "sustainablity" is really about, come hear Rosa Koire at RedlandsRead More Townhall on May 23, 6:30 pm at the American Legion Hall, 814 W. Colton Avenue. "Sustainability" is UN Agenda 21.

“Sustainability” = UN Agenda 21 = less liberty and less prosperity.

Usually I'd start with how teachers should be paid in line with their students grades, but for nowRead More I'll just suggest going to the .99 cent stores. You can get everything from 100 packs of #2 pencils to college ruled notebooks and binders, to pens and highlighters. We go there weekly and send boxes of school supplies, crayons and coloring books to our troops in Afghanistan to help them befriend the locals. The biggest score is cans of party string that usually go for $5. They spray it into a room and the streamers will hang on any tripwires without setting off the bomb. And try asking the store manager if corporate might be willing to throw in 2 for the price of one or a bakers dozen on highly stocked items if you can get several other teaches to also shop there. It never hurts to ask.

I have shopped at Staples for years and have yet gotten a so-called reward. Why the change of heartRead More now? The school supplies are overpriced anyway. I get things really inexpensively at Walmart right before school starts. There is no limit as to how many things one can buy like there is at Staples.
