On the eastbound Interstate 10 just northwest of Palm Springs, two trucks crashed and caused all but one lane to close Monday night and into Tuesday morning. The California Highway Patrol reports that one of the trucks involved in the accident was carrying almonds which spilled and covered the lanes. As a result of the truck accident, one of the drivers was trapped for more than 45 minutes, but luckily no injuries were reported.

In the above situation, no one was seriously injured, but Palm Springs truck accidents can often cause many injuries because of the size of the vehicles. If colliding with another vehicle, broken bones can be common as well as internal damage and other trauma. You should be aware that if a truck accident is the result of another driver’s negligence then you may be entitled to some compensation for injuries and damages.
