David Seth Gonzales Obituary – The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has announced that a 27-year-old man lost his life on Saturday after crashing into a curb and two trees in La Quinta. The incident occurred near the intersection of Monroe Street and Airport Boulevard at 2:25 a.m. Deputies from the sheriff’s Thermal station promptly responded to the report of a single-vehicle crash.
Upon arrival, they discovered a white Kia sedan overturned on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, the driver was trapped inside and could not be reached by the deputies. Emergency services, including an ambulance and personnel from Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department, also arrived at the scene.
