A Palm Springs man was injured following a suspected drunk driving crash in Morongo Valley early Thursday morning. According to the California Highway Patrol, Joshua Frankel, 44, was driving a black 2017 Kia Sorrento eastbound on Highway 62. Just after 1 a.m., Frankel crashed into the left rear of a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis, driven by Monica Sanchez, 21, of Joshua Tree, east of Sundown Trail. Frankel’s Kia rolled over following the crash, and Morongo Valley firefighters had to extricate him from his car. Joshua Frankel was taken by Morongo Basin Ambulance to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs with moderate to major injuries. Due to the extent of his injuries, he was cited and released at the hospital for investigation of driving under the influence causing injury; the case will be referred to the District Attorney’s office for review.
