El Niño Weather Advisory! 🌧️

With El Niño bringing the potential for increased rainfall, be prepared for wet weather and possible flooding. Flooded roads are extremely dangerous — just a few inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.

Key reminders:
• Slow down and increase following distance.
• Turn on your headlights when your wipers are in use.
• Turn Around, Don’t Drown — never drive through flooded roadways.

Avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rain. If you must travel, use caution and check Caltrans QuickMap for road conditions and closures.

Stay prepared, and as always, drive safe, California!

It is with profound sadness that the California Highway Patrol announces the line-of-duty death of Officer Brian Liles of the Visalia Area.

On September 28, 2026, at approximately 5:11 p.m., CHP Motorcycle Officer Liles was involved in an on-duty traffic crash on State Route 99, just north of State Route 190 in Tipton. He sustained critical injuries and, despite lifesaving efforts, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Officer Liles, 44, served the people of California for more than 16 years. After graduating from the CHP Academy in 2010, he was assigned to the San Jose Area and later served in the Hayward and Fresno Areas before transferring to the Visalia Area in 2019.

Officer Liles is survived by his wife, two children, his parents, and two sisters.

The CHP extends its deepest condolences to Officer Liles' family, friends, loved ones, and all who served alongside him. His dedication to public service and commitment to protecting the people of California will not be forgotten.

🚧WORK ZONES REQUIRE YOUR FULL ATTENTION🚧

When driving through highway construction and work zones, slow down, stay alert, and eliminate distractions.

Watch for changing traffic patterns, reduced speeds, workers, equipment, and stopped or slowing traffic. Leave extra space between vehicles and be prepared to adjust as conditions change.

A few extra seconds of attention can make a critical difference.

Slow down. Stay focused. Drive safely.
