How the Head-On Crash on I-10 Unfolded
The crash happened at about 2:15 a.m., west of Box Canyon Road. The California Highway Patrol said Trevino was driving a Chevrolet Colorado east when it collided head-on with a Ford F-150 Raptor. The patrol said the Ford was traveling west in the eastbound lanes. Trevino died at the scene. The Ford's driver, a 41-year-old man from Yucaipa, suffered major injuries and was airlifted to Desert Regional Medical Center.
What the CHP Indio Area Office Is Examining
The CHP Indio Area office is still investigating the collision. The California Highway Patrol said it suspects alcohol may have been a factor. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office-Coroner's Bureau identified Trevino and said it had notified his family.
A full investigation into a serious crash often takes weeks, and sometimes months. Investigators usually wait for vehicle data and lab results before they finish their report.

Here is what families in California usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
