CATHEDRAL CITY, CA (May 7, 2018) – On Monday evening, an 83-year old Desert Hot Springs man was killed and two others were hospitalized after a crash on Varner Road and Mountain View Road.
The collision occurred just before 8:50 PM when a northbound Cadillac on Mountain View veered into the southbound lanes, for reasons not yet confirmed, crashing into a Plymouth in the southbound lane. Another vehicle, a Honda, was successful in avoiding the collision, but veered off the road and went into a dirt embankment.
