The youngster somehow put the car into neutral, the vehicle coasted downhill slamming into a parked ford F250 pick-up. The crash caused moderate damage to both vehicles.

JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK LOOKING FOR HISTORIC PHOTOS
You just might have one among your old photographs. Joshua Tree National Park is actively seeking old historic photographs of the park and surrounding environs. Reporter Dan Stork puts out the call...
Joshua Tree National Park is looking for old pictures, in any format, of the Park. Many homesteads, homesteaders, mining areas, and miners are poorly represented in the Park’s photographic collection. Interior views of park historic structures are especially rare. Photographs have proven to be extremely valuable in recording the history of the park for both management and educational purposes. In particular, park staff would like to be able to show the buildings and life at Keyes Ranch as accurately and richly as possible. The Ranch is open to the public on guided tours, and offers an excellent example of what life was like on a desert homestead during the 20th century. People who have photos they wish to donate, or who have stories about the park, should contact Melanie Spoo, Museum Curator 760-367-5571, Melanie_spoo@nps.gov) or Hannah Nyala West, Park Historian 760-367-5576, Hannah_nyalawest@nps.gov).
