DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - The California Highway Patrol on Tuesday released the name of a 74-year-old Bend, Oregon man who died last week after crashing his white BMW into a motor home in a Desert Hot Springs mobile home park.   

The crash was first reported at around 4:15 p.m. last Wednesday on North Indian Canyon Drive, north of 14th Avenue, according to the CHP.

CHP told News Channel 3 that the cause of the crash remains under investigation.

First responders rushed the driver, identified as Darryl Lynn Harms of Bend, to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where he was later pronounced dead. He was alone in the vehicle.

"The male was wearing his seat belt, and alcohol/drugs are not suspected to be a factor in this crash,'' according to the initial CHP news statement.

CHP reported there was minor to moderate damage to the motor home.  No other individuals were involved in the crash.

Anyone with any information regarding the crash was urged to call the CHP at 760-772-5300.
