Riverside County: Pedestrian Killed in Palm Springs Early Nov. 14, Driver Arrested on DUI Charge
A pedestrian was killed in an early-morning collision in Palm Springs, Riverside County, on November 14. The Palm Springs Police Department said in a news release that officers responded at about 1:17 a.m. to North Indian Canyon Drive, just north of Sunrise Parkway, and found a man with significant injuries who was pronounced dead at the scene.
An initial investigation showed that a 54-year-old driver was heading south on North Indian Canyon Drive when his vehicle struck the pedestrian, according to police. The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers, who had him undergo a series of sobriety tests.
Police said the tests led officers to arrest the man on a count of driving under the influence of drugs causing bodily injury. Lt. Michael Torres, a spokesperson for the department, said police are not releasing names at this time. The driver was taken to the Riverside County Jail in Indio for booking.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Coroner's Bureau took custody of the pedestrian, whose identity is being withheld until his next of kin has been notified. Police said the investigation is ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact the department at (760) 327-1441.
