California Highway Patrol officer, Joe Zagorski said motorists should access the Westbound I-10 from Washington Street or Cook Street to avoid the back up.

It is not clear how long the closure would remain in effect. UPDATE: Closure continued as of 9 a.m.

The two CHP officers were then involved in a shooting with a person under the bridge who may have been that driver.

The officers were not hurt. The driver was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center with unknown injuries.
