CATHEDRAL CITY, CA (April 15, 2024) – Noah Garcia died Tuesday night, and five others were hurt in a two-car crash on Cathedral Canyon Drive and 33rd Avenue.

At approximately 9:21 p.m., dispatchers received calls from the vicinity near Corral Road reporting a collision. According to reports, a speeding northbound vehicle collided with another car attempting a southbound left turn.

The force of the impact propelled the first vehicle northward, causing it to collide with two mailboxes and two parked vehicles.

Emergency responders transported the driver of the first vehicle to Desert Regional Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Coroner’s Bureau later identified the deceased driver as 19-year-old Garcia.
