Collision Details: The Palm Springs Police Department responded to the crash site at the intersection of East Amado Road and North Hermosa Drive at 9:21 p.m. Preliminary investigations suggest a vehicle turned in front of Kerman, leading to the collision. Kerman was transported to Desert Regional Medical Center but tragically succumbed to his injuries en route.
