PALM DESERT, CA (May 5, 2020) – Early Monday morning, a multi-vehicle accident left one person with injuries on 10 Freeway.
 
According to the police reports, officers first responded around 3:00 a.m., between Cook and Washington Street. An eastbound big-rig rolled over and crashed into the center guard rail. This led to a multi-vehicle accident that stalled the traffic in both directions.
