A second person, whose name has not yet been released, also died in the same big rig that overturned on the westbound side of Interstate 10 near Mecca Saturday morning.

One semi trailer was reported overturned just east of the Cactus City rest area around 5 a.m.

A second big rig overturned shortly after. Riverside County Fire Department Hazardous Materials Team and County Environmental Health Officials were called to clean up a diesel fuel spill. The spill was cleaned up by 2:30 p.m.

A third big rig also overturned nearby, no injures were reported in this incident.
