UNUSUAL ACCIDENT ON I-10 LEAVES TWO INJURED
Your San Gorgonio Pass Area CHP officers are investigating a major injury collision that occurred yesterday evening on I-10 near Morongo. Preliminary investigation indicates a semi/tractor-trailer was traveling on I-10 eastbound when a tandem set of wheels/tires became detached from the axle. The wheel/tires continued eastbound before bouncing over the center divider wall and landing directly on top of a Subaru that was traveling westbound. The Subaru was occupied by two individuals at the time of the collision. Both occupants were transported to the hospital with major injuries but are expected to survive.
Our investigating officers will partner with officers from the CHP Desert Hills Inspection Facility to conduct a thorough inspection on the semi to determine the cause for the mechanical failure.
While we understand some things are unavoidable, we want to remind you to always be aware of your surroundings. Having situational awareness could mean the difference between life and death when faced with an unexpected challenge. Always expect the unexpected and do your best to avoid complacency; especially when operating a motor vehicle.
