Two men driving in Death Valley National Park on July 4 got lost and illegally drove off-road, the US National Park Service alleges, sending one man to the hospital with heat-related illness.The car was removed using a skid steer that followed the same tracks to minimize additional damage.
The pair were navigating by GPS and took a wrong turn in the park, NPS said in the release. After several hours of driving back and forth along a gravel road and becoming worried about running out of gas, they decided around midnight to try to drive directly across the salt flat. Around 3 a.m., the two split up. One man was picked up around 8 a.m. by other visitors and driven to Furnace Creek to call for help.The family who picked him up drove back and found the second man and took him to Shoshone, California, NPS said. He was transported by ambulance to Desert View Hospital in Pahrump, Nevada, with symptoms of heat-related illness.Two possible heat-related deaths have been reported at the park this summer.
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.
