At 12:23 p.m. Thursday, a 2007 Toyota Camry driven by Bahzad Ali of Fort Irwin was traveling south on China Lake Boulevard and stopped at the intersection of Highway 395 in the Ridgecrest area.

Ali accelerated and began a left turn to travel southbound on Highway 395. He entered the intersection directly in the path of a 2011 Toyota Sienna traveling northbound on the highway.

The Sienna, driven by Richard Chung, of Brea, collided with the Camry. The Sienna left the roadway and overturned.

Bahzad Ali and his passenger, Nicholas Adams, suffered minor injuries.

Chung received no apparent injuries, but a passenger, Grace Chung, suffered major injuries.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor. An investigation is ongoing.
