A car was submerged in a sinkhole that appeared to open up after a crash at 75th Avenue and Thomas Road in Phoenix, Arizona. The incident occurred on May 8, 2024, and was captured on video. The footage shows the car partially submerged in the hole, which was estimated to be around 10-15 feet deep. No serious injuries were reported, but the driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution. The cause of the sinkhole is under investigation, but it's believed to be related to a water main break or a storm drain issue. The intersection was closed while crews worked to repair the damage and fill the hole.

It is with broken hearts that we share Flower, the Nigerian dwarf goat, passed away earlier this week due to complications from sepsis.

Flower received around the clock care from his keepers and our veterinarian staff at the Animal Care Center. They did everything they could to treat him for his ailments. Unfortunately, despite the excellent care Flower received, he declined further on Monday. As he left this world, he was surrounded by his keepers who showed him so much love.

From the moment Flower entered this world, he was a favorite amongst his keepers, Zoo staff, volunteers and guests. "Flower was the sweetest little boy who loved following his keepers while they cleaned his yard and chewing on their shoelaces. He loved bouncing around the yard while playing with his brother and especially cuddles with his mom! He was a little fighter and will be greatly missed by his keepers!" - Amber, Keeper II - Equine

Thank you everyone who sent well wishes to Flower as he fought a strong fight. And thank you, for your condolences as we, as a community, grieve the loss of this strong-willed kid.

The Tonto Creek Bridge in Arizona is set to open after years of construction, following a tragic incident in 2019 where three children were swept away by floodwaters. The new bridge aims to improve safety and prevent similar incidents in the future. The original crossing was a low-water crossing that had been closed multiple times due to flooding, and the new bridge will provide a safer passage for residents and visitors. The construction project faced delays and funding issues but is finally nearing completion, bringing relief to the community.
