Monzón en Arizona provoca choques y cierres en I-17; autoridades alertan a conductores por lluvias
Las tormentas intensas dejaron lluvia, inundaciones y accidentes en carreteras del estado durante el fin de semana
PHOENIX, Arizona — El monzón en Arizona volvió a mostrar su fuerza durante el fin de semana con fuertes tormentas que provocaron accidentes vehiculares, inundaciones y cierres temporales en carreteras importantes del estado.
El Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Arizona (AZDPS) informó que las lluvias intensas afectaron distintas zonas, incluyendo la carretera interestatal I-17, donde se registraron múltiples colisiones.
Una de las áreas afectadas fue Cordes Lakes, donde las autoridades reportaron incidentes que involucraron incluso vehículos comerciales.
Tormentas del monzón en Arizona provocaron cierres en I-17
Las condiciones peligrosas obligaron a las autoridades a realizar cierres completos de carriles en la autopista I-17 mientras equipos de emergencia retiraban vehículos y limpiaban la carretera.
El exceso de agua sobre el pavimento aumentó el riesgo de pérdida de control para algunos conductores.
Durante la temporada del monzón, las lluvias intensas pueden aparecer rápidamente y generar condiciones peligrosas en cuestión de minutos.
DPS recomienda revisar vehículos antes de conducir bajo lluvia
Las autoridades estatales recordaron a los conductores la importancia de preparar sus vehículos antes de enfrentar tormentas fuertes.
Entre las principales recomendaciones destacan:
Revisar los neumáticos
Los neumáticos desgastados aumentan el riesgo de accidente, debido a que pierden capacidad para mantener contacto adecuado con el pavimento mojado.
Los conductores deben verificar que sus llantas tengan suficiente dibujo y presión adecuada.
Reducir la velocidad durante lluvias intensas
Manejar a alta velocidad sobre carreteras mojadas puede provocar que el vehículo pierda estabilidad.
Las autoridades recomiendan respetar los límites de velocidad y prestar atención al comportamiento del automóvil en condiciones de lluvia.
Verificar el estado de los limpiaparabrisas
Los limpiadores deben retirar correctamente el agua del parabrisas sin dejar grandes marcas que reduzcan la visibilidad.
Una mala visibilidad durante tormentas puede aumentar el riesgo de accidentes.
Monzón en Arizona también aumenta riesgo de inundaciones y tormentas de polvo
El AZDPS recordó que durante esta temporada también son frecuentes las tormentas de polvo y las inundaciones repentinas.
Las autoridades pidieron a los automovilistas evitar cruzar zonas inundadas y nunca intentar conducir por áreas donde el agua cubre la carretera.
El mensaje principal de seguridad es:
“Pull Aside, Stay Alive” (oríllate y mantente con vida).
Si un conductor no puede ver claramente la carretera debido a lluvia intensa, polvo o poca visibilidad, debe detenerse en un lugar seguro hasta que mejoren las condiciones.
También recomiendan seguir la regla:
“Turn Around, Don’t Drown” (date la vuelta, no te ahogues).
Temporada del monzón continúa en Arizona
Las autoridades señalaron que los conductores deben mantenerse atentos durante toda la temporada de lluvias, ya que las tormentas pueden generar cambios repentinos en las condiciones de manejo.
El llamado de AZDPS es conducir con precaución, estar preparado y priorizar la seguridad antes de intentar avanzar durante clima extremo.
