Riverside Co, CA (January 22, 2025) – A collision involving a semi-truck and two passenger vehicles early Wednesday morning near Cactus City resulted in one driver being airlifted to a hospital for treatment.

The crash was reported around 1:30 a.m. on January 22 on the eastbound 10 Freeway near Frontage Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The semi-truck driver was transported to Chiriaco Summit, where they were airlifted to a hospital for further care. The nature and severity of the injuries were not immediately disclosed.
