[12-11-2022] Riverside County, CA – At Least One Person Injured in Two-Vehicle Collision on 10 Freeway

Authorities said at least one person was hospitalized following a two-vehicle collision in Riverside County on late Sunday afternoon, December 11, 2022.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred shortly before 5:38 p.m. on the Interstate 10 freeway in the San Gorgonio Pass.

The collision involved a Lexus crashing with a white Tahoe. The heavy rain in the area an hour earlier may have likely contributed to the crash.

Responders from the Cathedral City Fire Department transported at least one person to the Desert Regional Hospital for sustaining injuries.

It is unclear how exactly the crash happened and the extent of injuries involved as the investigation continued.

Two-Vehicle Accident Statistics

Car accidents in the United States cause one death and multiple injuries every minute. Approximately 2 million children and young adults (aged 0-24) are killed annually, and another 10 million are injured.

Experts predict that by the year 2050, approximately 10,000 people will have lost their lives in car accidents in California.

An increase of 23.5 percent from 2015 to 2016 in the number of fatal car accidents in the state was seen. There were an estimated 3,898 fatalities and 276,823 injuries due to traffic accidents in 2017. As many as nine people per 100,000 took public transportation that year and died.

At least one car accident is inevitable for every driver. Keeping a sharp eye out, employing defensive driving tactics, and maintaining a reliable vehicle are all ways motorists can prevent this from happening to them.
