RVer Dies in Motorhome Crash
A San Diego man was killed and a woman was critically injured Monday afternoon when their motor home crashed into another vehicle and then rolled onto its side.
The motor home, towing a car, was northbound on Highway 74 just north of Pitahaya Street about 4:30 p.m. when investigators say its brakes may have failed, Riverside County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Herlinda Valenzuela said.
“At some point, the motor home hit the SUV and pushes it, disengages, hit the tree and completely flipped,” she said.
Indio resident Diana Hernandez, was driving the Ford Explorer and managed to see the motor home's driver.
“He looked so scared,” she said of the driver, who was 86 years old. “He hit us so hard, I couldn't control my car.”
