PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Palm Springs Rescue crews were called out to Indian Canyon just before 11:30 am Thursday, as a driver became trapped by rising flood waters.
Crews were able to rescue the driver from an area that had recently been closed down due to the flooding.
Earlier this morning, Palm Springs Police also shut down Gene Autry and Vista Chino also due to flood waters crossing the busy roadways. Police have warned drivers of the dangers of going through barricades that are in place.
In Desert Hot Springs, Little Morongo Road is closed between Two Bunch Palms Trail and Dillon Road also due to flooding at the wash.
There are also several reports of many other flooded intersections across the valley. Be sure to allow for extra time as roadways that are open will be extra busy.
Check back for updates as rain is expected to continue throughout New Year’s Day.
