One driver, 54-year-old Joyce Stotz of Palm Springs died at the scene of the crash, according to the Riverside County Coroner’s Bureau. The 20-year-old male driver of the second vehicle amd a 17-year-old female passenger were taken to the hospital with severe injuries

About a half-mile stretch of Gene Autry Trail was shut down in both directions between I-10 and Via Escuela, just north of Vista Chino, for several hours.

Investigators say Stotz was traveling northbound on Gene Autry Trail when she drove through a patch of sand, lost control of her vehicle and drove into the southbound lanes of traffic, colliding with another vehicle. Stotz was ejected from her car.
