A 64-year-old motorist sustained minor injures Friday after his vehicle overturned on westbound Interstate 10 in Cabazon.

The crash was reported shortly after 8:40 a.m. Friday east of Morongo Trail, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A 2015 Hino box truck traveling at an unconfirmed speed made an unsafe turning movement for unknown reasons, causing it to overturn and came to a rest on its left side.

The driver, identified only as a 64-year-old man from Hawthorne, in Los Angeles County, suffered minor injuries.

A Sig Alert was issued about 9:15 a.m., with the nos. 2, 3 and 4 lanes temporarily closed. Roughly 15 minutes later, the nos. 2 and 3 lanes reopened while the No. 4 lane and the Morongo Trail off-ramp remained closed for an unspecified amount of time.

Alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the crash, which was under investigation, the agency stated.
