Solo-Vehicle Crash Near Jefferson Street Exit Kills Desert Hot Springs Woman

INDIO, CA (December 28, 2023) – Early Sunday morning, Teresa Herrera was declared dead in a car accident along Interstate 10 in Indio. 

The fatal incident occurred around 2:05 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the freeway, near the Jefferson Street exit. 

According to California Highway Patrol, a silver Toyota Camry made an unsafe turn to the right and collided with a guardrail. 

The impact of the crash caused the female passenger to be ejected from the vehicle. Unfortunately, the first responders declared 35-year-old Teresa Herrera of Desert Hot Springs dead at the scene. 

Meanwhile, paramedics transported the 27-year-old driver from Palm Springs to a local hospital after complaints of pain. Police eventually arrested the driver after showing signs of intoxication.
