Two men driving in Death Valley National Park got lost and illegally drove off-road, the US National Park Service alleges, sending one man to the hospital with heat-related illness
Charges and fines are pending, NPS said in a news release Tuesday. “Death Valley is an awe-inspiring place that demands our utmost respect and preparedness,” Superintendent Mike Reynolds said in a statement. “We urge visitors to exercise caution and adhere to park rules. Don’t drive off established roads; this damages the environment and can turn deadly.” The pair were navigating by GPS and took a wrong turn in the park, NPS said in the release.
A 65-year-old man was found dead inside his vehicle on July 3, and a 71-year-old man died on July 18 after collapsing outside a restroom as temperatures topped 120 F . NPS said a mandatory court appearance was issued to the men involved in the July 4 incident for illegal off-road driving and resulting damage to the park, with charges and fines pending.
