FATAL TRAFFIC COLLISION Sep. 10, 2026

Sep 10, 2026

Hemet, CA.- On Thursday, September 10th 2026, at approximately 0013 hours, Hemet Police Communications Center received a call regarding a traffic collision that occurred in the area of Domenigoni Pkwy and Warren Road, in the City of Hemet. Hemet Police Officers arrived on scene and located a silver SUV and a blue pickup truck that were involved in the collision. The driver of the SUV was unresponsive and pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the pickup truck remained on scene and was cooperative with the investigation.

Based on these circumstances, the Hemet Police Department Traffic Bureau responded to the scene of the collision and assumed the investigation. The preliminary investigation revealed that the SUV was traveling eastbound on Domenigoni Pkwy on the wrong side of the road when it collided with the blue pickup truck. Impaired driving does appear to be a factor, and the identity of the deceased is being withheld pending family notification. Westbound Domenigoni Pkwy was closed from Sanderson Avenue to Warren Road from approximately 12:18 am to 06:30 am.
