A solo vehicle collision occurred late last night on State Route 62 near Cactus Flower Road in Morongo Valley, CA, resulting in unknown injuries. The incident took place around 11:30 PM when the driver of a silver Cadillac CTS swerved to avoid an animal on the roadway.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where two occupants were present in the vehicle. One occupant sustained a head injury and was transported to HDMC for further evaluation. The other occupant declined ambulance transport but requested to be checked by medical personnel.
The collision left the Cadillac CTS undriveable, necessitating the arrival of a tow truck to remove the vehicle from the scene. As a result, one lane of State Route 62 was blocked temporarily while emergency responders managed the situation.
Traffic was impacted during the response, leading to delays as crews worked to clear the area. The tow truck arrived shortly after midnight, allowing for the reopening of the lane. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as cleanup efforts continued.
This incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially when unexpected obstacles may appear on the road.
