64-Year-Old Man Killed in Palmdale Traffic Collision 

Three vehicles collided in Palmdale on Saturday afternoon, leaving one dead and four people injured.

Per reports, a vehicle was making a left turn onto Palmdale Boulevard from 55th Street at the time of the accident. 

That vehicle then crashed into two other vehicles at about 4:29 p.m. on August 6th.

Ronald Conley, 64, was driving a Nissan Maxima when he rear-ended a Mercedes GLE 350.

The Nissan then collided head-on with a Mazda CX, causing severe injuries to Conley, sadly killing him at the scene. 

Three other people suffered minor to major injuries and one was airlifted to a hospital. 

A fourth person also suffered minor injuries; however, they declined medical treatment. 

An active investigation remains underway.
