A man was killed Thursday morning in Palm Springs, California, after being hit by a meat truck while crossing the street in a crosswalk. According to KPSP 2 News, the accident occurred at around 8:04 AM at the corner of North Palm Canyon Drive and Racquet Club Road.

A spokesperson for the Palm Springs police department, Sergeant Paul Abshire, stated that an Isuzu delivery truck was driving southbound along North Palm Canyon Drive and struck the man who was crossing the street. Police arrived at the scene and found the victim in the middle of the road with severe injuries. He was then transported to Desert Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

Arguments on both sides of the debate have been heard on local and state levels as to whether or not to install lights at California crosswalks. The public was made aware of the problem after a string of incidents involving young people across the state being struck by vehicles at crosswalks. Most recently, a 16-year-old female Arcadia, California, high school student was killed after being hit in a crosswalk on her way to school.

The California personal injury lawyers with the Water Clark Legal Group would like to remind motorists to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. It is also important for pedestrians to remember to always use crosswalks and wait for your signals to cross. Being mindful of your surroundings is vital to keeping you and others around you safe.

Officials with the California Highway Patrol were happy to announce that a DUI checkpoint set up last Saturday night netted five arrests. According to KPSP 2 News, the checkpoint operated from 9:00 PM Saturday, December 10 to 1:00 AM Sunday, December 11 on the 86 Expressway near Dillon Road in Coachella, California.

California Highway Patrol Spokesman Officer Joe Zagorski stated 556 vehicles were stopped over the four-hour period with 10 drivers being tested for possibly being under the influence of alcohol. Of those 10, five were arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

The drivers–all of who were men between the ages of 18 and 48–were booked into the Indio jail.

Officer Zagorski said for being one of their first operations for the holiday season, they consider it to be very successful. Officials also would like to remind motorists to select a designated driver before heading out to any holiday events or activities.

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities in the state of California this year have been alcohol related.

An accident Thursday morning along a stretch of Interstate-10 has left one person dead and another critically injured. KPSP Channel 2 News reported earlier today that the crash occurred just after 10:20 this morning, east of Whitewater Road in Riverside County.

The accident happened when the driver of a minivan lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll several times and hit two other vehicles before screeching to a halt. California Highway Patrol investigators say when rescue crews arrived at the scene, they found the minivan on its side and proceeded to free the two passengers from the wreckage.

Paramedics attempted to transport both passengers to an area hospital; however, one of the victims died before they could arrive. The condition of another driver who was involved in the crash has not yet been determined either.

Investigators are still working to determine fault and cause in the crash.

Data from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that California has the fourth deadliest highways in the nation. Between 2004 and 2008, 437 fatal accidents were reported along the state’s highways with 506 actual deaths.
