Driver Seriously Injured in Highway 111 Vehicle Collision [Palm Springs, CA]

Palm Springs, CA (June 28, 2023) – On Tuesday, a driver sustained serious injuries following a Highway 111 vehicle collision.

The two-vehicle collision happened at about 1:40 p.m. north of Gateway Drive, near Windy Cove.

According to the Palm Springs Police Department, one driver was eastbound when he crashed into another vehicle in his blind spot when trying to pass.

“He overcorrected, hitting and launching over the guardrail and falling 25-30 feet onto the side of the freeway below,” writes Tamara Wadkins, PSPD public information officer.

The driver was hospitalized with serious injuries but officers expect the driver to be fine.

Traffic Accidents Could Happen Anytime

The California Office of Traffic Safety’s “Go Safely” campaign advises drivers of the following:

• Follow the posted speed limit.
• Slow down your speed at intersections.
• Give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks and unmarked corners. Be ready to stop and let those on foot cross.
• Apply extra care in less-than-ideal driving conditions. This may include dark, foggy, or rainy weather.
• Respect all bicyclists. Give cyclists at least three to five feet of room when passing a bike. California law requires drivers to provide a minimum of three feet of space between a vehicle and a bicycle.
• If there is not enough space to pass a bicyclist safely, be patient and wait until you can.

Commutes like taking your kids to school or going to work should be of no great consequence. Yet auto-pedestrian collision cases such as the  Highway 111 vehicle collision continue to occur.

Traffic safety continues to be a life-and-death matter, yet reckless driving has not been in decline. Truth be told, one person is killed in a traffic accident every couple of hours.

Moreover, traffic safety continues to be a life-and-death matter, yet reckless driving has not been in decline.

Furthermore, sharing the road is a shared responsibility. It is important to keep an eye out for those who are on the road with you.
