A traffic collision left one man dead early Wednesday morning.

Pleasant Tucker, 18, died at John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Indio after his 1999 truck slammed into the left side of a 1995 semi dump truck, said California Highway Patrol spokeswoman Tami Low, in a news release.

The incident was reported about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday on northbound Dillon Road, south of Fargo Canyon. The 51-year-old driver of the semi was traveling southwest on Dillon when the collision occurred.

According to Low, the driver of the semi saw Tucker, a Palm Springs resident, swerve into the southbound lane once before the accident.
