DESERT CENTER – A 34-year-old San Jacinto man was arrested for crashing his big rig while allegedly driving under the influence on Thursday.
At around 1:25 a.m. the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was dispatched to the report of a single-vehicle traffic collision on the I-10, in Desert Center. Gorge Rodriguez, 34, was driving a 2016 Cat big rig, which was towing a single trailer westbound on the I-10, west of Box Canyon Road/Cottonwood Springs Road.
