According to a recent article from KESQ, there was a major big rig truck accident which took the life of the driver, Carl Vogt.
Per the article, California Highway Patrol responded to the scene and stated that the truck driver died after crashing his International big rig tractor that was hauling a trailer near Desert Center on the Interstate 1o on Wednesday morning, February 8th. The big rig crash was reported at about 5:30 a.m. just east of Dillon Road on the westbound I-10. Officers reported that the man drifted off the left side of the road, where the tractor veered into the center divider, striking a raised dirt embankment.
