A woman was taken to a hospital after a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 in Palm Desert on Thursday morning, October 22, 2026.
The collision was reported shortly before 6:40 a.m. on eastbound I-10, just east of Washington Street.
According to preliminary information from authorities, a gray Honda Civic was changing lanes from the No. 3 lane into the No. 2 lane when a purple Infiniti SUV struck the back of the Honda. The impact sent the Honda out of control and into a guardrail.
The woman driving the Honda was taken to Eisenhower Health with complaints of pain. The man driving the Infiniti was not hurt.
The crash damaged the guardrail and left debris across the freeway. The eastbound No. 1 lane was closed while crews cleared the roadway, and traffic backed up about one mile past Washington Street.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
