Five-vehicle collision kills 91-year-old man
Cathedral City — A Tacoma, Wash., man died Thursday after his car was crushed in a five-vehicle collision that shut down a Cathedral City intersection for much of the day.
Paramedics rushed Neil McConaghy, 91, to a hospital after a Ford F550 smashed into his Chrysler PT Cruiser at 9:06 a.m. along Date Palm Drive at Ramon Road, investigators said.
He was pronounced dead at 10:24 a.m. at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, according to the Riverside County coroner.
Elsy Escobar watched as emergency crews removed McConaghy from his car.
He was bleeding and not moving.
The truck driver, whose name was not released, was critically injured and was also rushed to Desert Regional.
According to Escobar, the truck driver “panicked and was very scared” after getting out of his vehicle.
His F550 sideswiped a parked SunLine Transit Agency bus on northbound Date Palm, police said.
The truck then crashed into the PT Cruiser, which was stopped at the intersection, and pushed it into a Lexus SUV waiting in a westbound turn lane.
They all hit an eastbound Ford Mustang that was turning north from Ramon onto Date Palm.
“The big white truck basically ran over the top of that tiny blue car and mowed it through the intersection,” Robinson said.
A man in either the Mustang or Lexus was treated at Desert Regional after complaining of pain.
The police investigation closed the intersection until about 3 p.m.
Drugs or alcohol were said not to be factors.
The city installed cameras at the high-traffic intersection in 2006 following a number of crashes, officials said at the time.
Felix Izurieta, who owns Park View Optical, 68-955 Ramon Road, No. 6, said he’s seen several crashes in the area over the years.
He pulled into his driveway 45 minutes after Thursday’s collision.
The first thing he saw was the demolished PT Cruiser beneath the white truck with vehicles scattered across the intersection.
“It seemed like mayhem out there; just pure destruction,” Izurieta said.
Cause of the Cathedral City Crash
The official cause of the fatal accident has not been determined. Cathedral City Police will rely heavily on traffic cameras to determine the crash’s cause.

Alain Salas, 40, was scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in Compton Superior Court on three counts of committing a lewd act on a child and one count of contact with a minor for a sexual offense, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
According to his Facebook site, Salas is from San Pedro and lives there. The FBI says Salas lists a Los Angeles street address as his residency.
The criminal complaint alleges that the crimes occurred last year between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30 and involved a 15-year-old girl identified only as “Jane Doe.”
Salas began working at Fremont in 2006 as a teacher’s aide for special education students, and also helped coach girls softball and volleyball, according to the Los Angeles Unified School District.

“The SAFE team is working with the alleged victim’s family and the school district, and is continuing to investigate the nature and extent of the allegations,” said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Prosecutors were asking that Salas’ bail be set at $300,000.

Speeding, alcohol blamed in SoCal crash that killed 3 Marines
DANA POINT – Alcohol and unsafe speed were the primary causes of a Dana Point crash that killed three Camp Pendleton-based U.S. Marines and left a fourth serviceman fighting for his life, a sheriff’s spokesman said Wednesday.
The rain-slick roadway was a lesser contributing factor to the crash that occurred at 2:05 a.m. Tuesday, said Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
He said the lone survivor, who was behind the wheel, remains in extremely critical condition at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.
The Marines were in a Dodge Stratus that crashed into a tree at Golden Lantern Street just past Terra Vista. It took firefighters about 20 minutes to cut through the wreckage to get to the servicemen, who were all in their early 20s, according to Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Marc Stone.
The two men in the back seat were declared dead at the scene, and the driver and another man in the front passenger seat were taken to Mission Hospital, where the passenger was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The Stratus was northbound on Golden Lantern at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control of the car, which hit a curb before slamming into a tree just past Terra Vista, Amormino said. The names of the victims were expected to be released late this afternoon by military officials.
