A Victorville mother apparently passed out while driving a sport-utility vehicle this morning and crashed head-on into oncoming traffic, authorities said.

The 34-year-old motorist, who has not been identified, was flown to Loma Linda University Medical Center and is being treated for several broken bones. Her children - a 4-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy - were properly seat belted in the Chevy Suburban and were not injured.

Witnesses say the woman was driving recklessly on Seventh Street and La Paz just before 10 a.m., moments before she crossed into oncoming traffic near Desert Knoll Drive and hit a GMC Yukon.

The 41-year-old man who was behind the wheel of the GMC remains hospitalized at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.
