9 People Injured in 2 Eastbound I-10 Crashes in Desert Center

Jan 10,2017

Several people were injured in two separate eastbound I-10 crashes early last month. Both crashes occurred in Desert Center. The first crash happened around 4 a.m. near Eagle Mountain Road. The details of the accident are not clear, but a vehicle was found overturned on the roadway.

Six people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash, two of whom were trapped under the vehicle. One of the occupants suffered major injuries and was airlifted to the hospital. The other five were taken to the hospital with moderate injuries.

The second accident occurred just east of Ford Dry Lake, near Mile Post 130. Two people had to be extricated from the vehicle. Both patients were airlifted to the hospital for major injuries. A third occupant was taken by ambulance to the hospital with moderate injuries.

Both eastbound I-10 crashes are under investigation. It is unclear what caused the accidents. These crashes are just the latest in a series of major accidents on I-10. Just a few weeks ago a passenger was killed in a rollover crash in the same area near Eagle Mountain Road.

“Motorists need to be more cautious and attentive when driving, especially on major highways like I-10 that are frequently the site of these serious collisions,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
