State-level law enforcement patrolling highways and enforcing Arizona laws.
The California Highway Patrol has launched a 12-hour Maximum Enforcement Period to crack down on impaired driving, with officers deployed statewide and a focus on weekends and late-night hours. The effort follows prior enforcement blitzes and cites rising DUI crashes and fatalities. Drivers are urged to designate sober drivers or use ride-hailing to reach destinations safely.
Flash floods in Bright Angel Creek have forced evacuations at Phantom Ranch and surrounding areas in Grand Canyon National Park. Officials report multiple missing persons may be unaccounted for as debris and rising water alter trails and infrastructure. Evacuations continue; closures remain in place as weather officials warn of more storms.
