Car Crash Knocks Out Water Supply For Elementary School
THOUSAND PALMS – A valley elementary school was without water Wednesday morning after a car crashed into equipment that supplies the school’s water.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a driver crashed into three water pumps in the area of Robert Road north of Ramon Road in Thousand Palms late Tuesday night.

One pump has already been repaired with the two others expected to be repaired later today.
Meanwhile, the CHP located the vehicle and driver involved in the crash. No arrests have been made and the crash is under investigation.
