31-Year-Old North Carolina Man Dies in Beaumont Traffic Accident
Beaumont, CA (April 01, 2022) On Friday afternoon, a fatal crash on Interstate 10 left a North Carolina man dead and a truck driver injured.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal collision happened around 12:33 p.m. east of Beaumont Avenue.
Moreover, the CHP says that the 31-year-old Burgaw, North Carolina is a Navy service member.
Reports say that the North Carolina man was driving a 2015 Kia on I-10’s number 4 lane.
For an unknown reason, the driver failed to notice that traffic has stopped.
Consequently, the Kia rear-ended a 2019 Freightliner driven by a 56-year-old Desert Hot Springs man.

Additionally, the truck’s unidentified passenger did not sustain injuries.
