June 2025 is starting out as the second wettest on record for Phoenix. As of Wednesday morning, we picked up another 0.14 inches of rain, bringing our June total to 0.45 inches so far! That's quite remarkable for a month that's typically bone dry.
In more serious news, a deadly wrong-way crash shut down Interstate 17 near 7th Avenue in Phoenix. Authorities are still investigating the cause of this tragic accident. Meanwhile, in south Phoenix, a child has died after being shot near 7th Avenue and Broadway Road. Our hearts go out to the families affected by these tragedies.
Just yesterday at Lake Pleasant's Desert Tortoise Campground, two children fell from a moving pickup truck around 3 p.m. They're currently in serious condition at the hospital. We're hoping for their swift recovery.
In Peoria, police shot and killed an attempted kidnapping suspect Thursday night near Thunderbird Road and 87th Avenue. And starting today, June 6th, Tempe's red light and speed cameras begin issuing $250 fines, so be extra cautious at those intersections.
On a brighter note, I had the chance to learn about an inspiring educator in our community. Sherry Saylor, a guidance counselor at Buckeye Elementary School, is celebrating nearly four decades of dedicated service. According to ABC15's Nick Ciletti, Saylor is just as passionate about her job today as she was when she started back in 1985. In a profession that grows more challenging each year, it's heartwarming to see educators like Saylor who continue to show up with unwavering dedication and a smile.
