Tragic Accident in Oroville , CHP Reports Fatality

Early Saturday morning, August 10, a tragic traffic collision occurred on Lower Wyandotte Road, just west of Foothill Boulevard. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has shared details about the incident, which happened around 1:10 a.m.

According to CHP, a white Chevrolet Suburban was heading east when, for reasons still unclear, the vehicle went off the road. It rolled over, hitting an embankment and several trees. The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the SUV.

Emergency responders worked hard to save the driver at the scene, but despite their efforts, he later passed away at a local hospital. The driver was the only person in the vehicle, and his name is being withheld until his family is notified. The cause of the accident, including whether drugs or alcohol played a role, is still under investigation.

Two Killed in Semi-Truck Crash on I-10 in Cathedral City

By Frank Penney • July 14, 2025

A devastating crash on Interstate 10 in Cathedral City early Thursday morning claimed the lives of two men and left several others injured. The multi-vehicle collision occurred near Date Palm Drive around 6:40 a.m. when a westbound semi-truck lost control, crossed the center divider, and overturned into the eastbound lanes, colliding with oncoming traffic. Dashcam footage captured the terrifying moment the big rig veered into the opposite lanes. The Riverside County Coroner’s Office later identified the victims as 58-year-old Francisco Sicairos Leon of Desert Hot Springs and 49-year-old Miguel Macias of Santa Ana. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the semi-truck survived the crash but sustained injuries. The collision caused significant traffic delays, shutting down all eastbound lanes for several hours. CHP officers reopened lanes 1 and 2 by 9:00 a.m., but the freeway wasn’t fully cleared and reopened until 2:20 p.m. as investigators and cleanup crews worked through the aftermath. According to CHP Officer David Torres, there were no signs that the semi-truck driver experienced a medical emergency, nor was there evidence of tire failure or substance impairment. Investigators are now focusing on other possible causes, such as fatigue, distracted driving, or mechanical failure. The California Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation into the cause of the crash.
