PALMDALE – One person had to be airlifted following a two-vehicle crash in Palmdale late Saturday night, authorities said.

Crews called for a helicopter, which airlifted the patient to a local hospital, Pittman said.
No information was available on the person’s condition. It was unclear whether the other driver was injured.
