Despite Nice Weather, Bad Decisions On The Road Cause 2 Fatalities

A bad decision by a 20 year woman from Desert Hot Springs has resulted in her death.

This woman was driving an old Lexus  north on Little Morongo Road, just north of Dillon Road around 10:46 Tuesday night September 21st 2021.

There was a vehicle in front of her, that was apparently not going fast enough to suit the 20 year old woman.

So, she went over into the southbound lane in an effort to pass the slower vehicle.

But before she could get past that other car, she crashed head-on into a Toyota Corolla that was heading southbound.

The 20 year old woman was killed.

An adult male in the Corolla suffered major injuries.

The CHP says alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be factors.
