Samuel Stocker Dead after Rollover Crash on Interstate 10 Off-Ramp [Whitewater, CA]
Two Injuries Reported after Solo-Vehicle Accident near Haugen-Lehmann Way
WHITEWATER, CA (August 2, 2023) – Friday afternoon, a single-vehicle crash along Interstate 10 off-ramp left Samuel Stocker dead and two other passengers hospitalized.
The incident happened on July 14th, at around 2:36 p.m., in the eastbound lanes of Interstate ten, at the Haugen-Lehmann Way exit.
Based on the initial investigation, a 2003 white Honda Pilot sped across several lanes to get to an offramp. The Honda then lost control struck a rock in a dirt embankment, and overturned. The vehicle was then stopped when it struck a light pole.
As a result of the collision, three occupants of the Honda were ejected from the vehicle.
Responding emergency personnel declared the driver of the Honda dead at the scene. Meanwhile, paramedics transported a 30-year-old female and another passenger from Banning to a hospital for treatment of injuries.
Later, authorities identified the deceased driver as 29-year-old Samuel Stocker of Mentone. The California Highway Patrol reminded motorists to “only drive a vehicle with a safety belt/child safety seat for every occupant and always buckle up.”
