Palm Springs, California (April 15, 2020) – One person was killed in an auto-pedestrian accident on Tuesday afternoon in Palm Springs, according to police.

The fatal crash occurred near North Gene Autry Trail and East Vista Chino Drive, at about 4:05 p.m., on April 14.

A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
