A solo vehicle incident occurred today on State Route 62 West near Indian Canyon in Desert Hot Springs, CA, at approximately 4:49 PM. A white sedan rolled off the roadway, but fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The incident took place when the vehicle lost control and veered off the road, with mud present on the roadway potentially contributing to the situation. Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and local fire services, quickly responded to the scene to ensure safety and assess the situation.
Traffic was temporarily affected as responders worked to clear the area. The vehicle was eventually moved to the right-hand side of the road, with the sole occupant safely outside the car. A tow truck was called to recover the vehicle, which required additional equipment due to its location in a blind curve.
By 5:39 PM, a tow service was en route, with an estimated arrival time of 30 to 45 minutes to safely remove the vehicle. The roadway has since been cleared, and traffic is expected to return to normal shortly.
Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious and vigilant for any potential hazards on the roadway. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to practice safe driving and be aware of changing road conditions.
