This happen yesterday morning when an equipment trailer "came loose" from an electrical contractors truck, crossed the centerline and and hit a car just off the freeway.

Little additional information was available because a fatal semi overturn on I-10 about 10 miles west had the freeway going into LA closed for 7 hours.

There was a third fatality on I-10 last night as a runaway food service truck hit several vehicles over a 5 mile stretch of I-10, killing one, and then the driver fled after rolling the truck.

Bad day in the desert yesterday.

This looks like out by the windmills west of Palm Springs, on the way towards Cabazon? My wife is from Indio...

That was my thought, too. Though, the windmills weren't there when I moved away from Riverside back in the 70's. The wind really can howl through that gap between Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. San Gorgonio; it used to be an effective way to sandblast your car.
