Donavan Rice, California Highway Patrol public affairs officer, said Lindberg was driving west on Interstate 10 at 10:25 p.m. Wednesday when for unknown reasons she probably jerked her car to the left. The sudden move, the officer said, caused Lindberg's car to skid sideways across the westbound lanes and center divider into the path of oncoming eastbound traffic. Charles Sundin's car was traveling east on the freeway when the Lindberg vehicle skidded into his path. The officer said Sundin's car apparently struck Lindberg's car on the driver's side door. The wreckage of both cars was found by officers in the eastbound lanes of I-10. Lindberg's car was facing north. The accident occurred 1 1/2 miles, west of Ramon Road. Both vehicles were traveling about 70 mph at the time of the accident, the officer said. All victims had to be cut from the tangled wreckage of the cars by Riverside County Fire Department rescue crews. The Sundin family was pronounced dead at the scene. Lindberg, was taken to Desert Hospital, in Palm Springs where she was pronounced dead. Sundin was hired at Palo Verde College in August 1987 as a teacher of speech, English and literature. Thursday the college flag was flying at half-staff in memory of the Sundin family, said Wilford Beumel, superintendent/president of the college. Sundin was also the college's vocational educational coordinator when first hired. He was made acting dean early in 1988 and dean about 1 1/2 years ago. The college president said both the faculty and students who knew Sundin "are coping pretty well." "I told them I didn't want to close the college today. He was extremely well liked among both the students and faculty," the president said, "but with grief sometimes I think it is better to just try to go on." "Sundin was quiet and had a very-good sense of humor. He was a very kind-hearted individual and extremely professional," Beumel said. Buemel said he learned about the fatal accident about 4 a.m. Thursday and drove over to inform the victim's survivors. Funeral arrangements are pending the arrival of family members, he said. Before coming to work at Blythe. Sundin had taught at Lock Haven State College in Lock Haven, Pa., and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. His previous employment included a stint as a vocational administrator, and teacher at Crafton Hills Community College in Yucaipa. Sundin was hired at Palo Verde after the college advertised for a dean. While he did not get the job immediately, Beumel said Sundin was such a good candidate the school devised a plan to bring him on campus as a faculty member and vocational education coordinator. At the time of the fatal accident, Sundin was returning home after attending a vocational educational conference in San Francisco. As a dean, Sundin was in charge of recommending the hiring of full and part-time faculty and worked on curriculum programs. His wife would occasionally assist in projects at the college, such, as designing brochures. "He was a tremendous team player and we enjoyed working together and it is going to be very hard to replace him personally and as well as on a professional basis," Beunel said. Charles and Amy Sundin's survivors include a daughter, Amy, 12, who resided with her parents in Blythe, but was not on the trip. Other children from the couple's previous marriages are en route to Blythe. Family friends said, Lindberg, who was single, was born in Montebello and lived in Palm Springs since June, 1975, a pohce spokesman said. She had a master's degree from California State University, Long Beach. Previous employment in the Coachella Valley included work as an assistant personnel director at Saks Fifth Avenue and a teacher at Raymond Cree Middle School in Palm Springs. Hired by the Palm Springs police on Nov 7, 1988, she worked as a secretary for the investigation division. The job entailed handling, detailed and confidential reports. "She was really nice, quiet and she went out of her way to be helpful," said a co-worker, Leesa Simanton, a police services assistant. "She always used to work overtime and kept busy." Joe Herlihy, a secretary in the departments traffic investigation division, remembered Lindberg as "a very hardworking secretary and very loyal to her job." "She enjoyed her job working, at the police department. She had been a school teacher some years before in home economics. She was a very quiet girl but one who also verv kind and generous." Herlihy said.
