Palm Springs, CA (March 27, 2024) – A tragic multi-vehicle collision in Palm Springs has claimed the life of 28-year-old Alexa Labrecque, a resident of Desert Hot Springs. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department confirmed her identity following the accident that occurred on Wednesday at the intersection of North Indian Canyon Drive and 20th Avenue.
Incident Details: Palm Springs Police Department officers were dispatched to the scene shortly after noon in response to the three-car collision. Upon arrival, Labrecque was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other individuals who were in the vehicle with her were transported to a hospital with significant injuries. The driver of the speeding vehicle also sustained injuries and was taken for medical treatment.
Preliminary Investigation Analysis: Initial reports suggest that one vehicle, traveling southbound on Indian Canyon Drive at a high rate of speed, collided with two other vehicles as they slowed at the intersection. Based on this information, Labrecque’s family may have the option of pursuing a wrongful death claim for their loss.
Ongoing Investigation: The Palm Springs Police Department is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision. Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident are encouraged to contact the department’s Traffic Division at 760-323-8125 to assist in the investigation.
My thoughts are with Labrecque’s family and the other individuals injured in this devastating event. I hope that the victims receive the support they need during this incredibly difficult time.
