Misleading headline reads like it happened in West Hollywood on Palm Avenue and horrible reporting. Are we supposed to know where Twentynine Palms is located? The driver is a resident of Indio so does that mean it happened in Indio? To your credit, you got me to click, so kudos for that, but this an all around lazy Facebook blurb and disrespectful to the person who lost his life. Do better.
