It is also unclear if there was more than one car involved in the accident. More details will likely emerge about this accident in the coming days. The highway was shut down for roughly 3 hours and was then re-opened at 8:20 AM approximately.
All of the debris from the accident was removed before the highway was reopened. Once interstate 10 was reopened, traffic began to flow normally across the road again. Police stopped rerouting it.
Right now it is not clear whether or not impairment, distraction, or speeding were factors in the accident. Whether or not the victim was wearing a seatbelt is also unknown at this time.
