Three people injured after suspected DUI crash in Palm Springs, portion of N Indian Canyon closed

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - N Indian Canyon between E Racquet Club and E Via Escuela has been shut down due to a suspected DUI crash that left three people injured.

The four-vehicle crash was reported at around 5:20 p.m.

Police confirmed three people were transported to a local hospital with injuries; one of those patients was reported to be in critical condition.

"Based on the preliminary investigation, it appears one vehicle made a lane change, sideswiping another vehicle. That collision caused the second vehicle to cross into opposing traffic, where it collided head-on with a third vehicle. A fourth vehicle was also involved in the incident," PSPD Captain Gustavo Araiza wrote in an email to News Channel 3.

Araiza added that the driver who caused the crash, a 30-year-old man from Rancho Cucamonga, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

It’s unknown how long the roadway will be closed.
