Elk Grove man dies in wrong-way crash on Highway 99 in Merced County
A 21-year-old Elk Grove man died in a wrong-way head-on crash on Highway 99 in Merced County early Monday morning, the California Highway Patrol said. CHP officers responded to Highway 99 just south of Hammatt Avenue in Livingston around 2:15 a.m., where they found a crash that involved three vehicles. Officers said an investigation determined the 21-year-old man from Elk Grove was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu sedan the wrong way in the first lane of southbound Highway 99. A 41-year-old man from San Bernardino was traveling south in a 2020 Toyota Camry sedan in the first lane when officers said the two drivers didn't see each other and crashed. The Chevrolet veered off to the left toward a big rig in the third lane of southbound Highway 99, where the Chevrolet crashed into the big rig's trailer. The Elk Grove man died and three passengers, whose ages ranged from 19 to 21, were taken to a hospital with moderate to major injuries, officers said. The driver of the big rig and the Toyota were not injured and remained at the scene. It's unknown if DUI was a suspected factor in the crash.

Monsoon system headed for desert: Will it rain in the Coachella Valley?
The summer monsoon season will be in full swing over the next couple of days with humid conditions expected in the Coachella Valley and rain forecasted for the surrounding mountains. Sebastian Westerink, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego, said that while there is not expected to be any rain in the Coachella Valley, residents likely will feel some mugginess in the air on Thursday, July 17, and Friday, July 18. Dew points, he said, are expected to reach the mid-60s and even the mid-70s in southern sections of the valley, particularly when as it gets a little windier in the afternoon. 'The humidity will be rather elevated,' he said. 'It won't be super sticky but enough though that you could feel it.' It will be a different story in the San Bernardino and Riverside County mountains, however, where the monsoon system is expected to produce isolated and scattered thunderstorms that could drop as much as half an inch of rain in spots. 'It really depends where the thunderstorms end up,' he said. 'Some areas could get almost nothing and some areas could get up to half an inch of rain.' The monsoonal effects, including the humidity and chances for showers in the mountains, are expected to be strongest on Thursday and Friday before tapering off over the course of Saturday. On the valley floor, the weather pattern is also expected to result in temperatures that – while still sweltering by most measures – are actually a few degrees cooler than average high of about 108 degrees for this time of year. Palm Springs area weather forecast In Palm Springs, the weather service is forecasting a high of 101 on Thursday and 104 on Friday. The high is then expected to climb back to 107 on Sunday. The highs are expected to be a few degrees warmer to the east, with Thermal expected to reach 102 on Thursday, 106 on Friday and 108 on Saturday. However, the lower temperatures won't mean much of a reprieve for desert dwellers. 'It'll still feel very hot,' he said, explaining that the humidity will make the heat feel hotter on the body and result in a heat index that is typical of the season.

Family members of missing Rancho Cucamonga man believe he was kidnapped
As authorities continue searching for the 74-year-old Rancho Cucamonga man missing since May, family members now believe that he was likely kidnapped by someone. "He's kind of a guide to my life, for a very long time," said Wen Hou. "I just want my dad back." His father, Nai Ping Hou was reported missing by family on May 4, but they say things have been different since March, when he became unusually detached in their family group chat. "Over time, when I ask if he wants to come meet up with us, you know, I have young children so it's harder for me to travel to him, he would say either he's tired, or 'I'll call you later,' or 'I can't meet,'" Hou said. "But, he's a semi-retired grandpa right now, so that's really strange." Hou was eventually able to get some friends to check on his father. They stumbled upon a harrowing scene, finding his home of 20 years completely empty and poorly repainted. "Not even furnitures or utensils, which is extremely bizarre," Hou said. "That's when I knew, whoever I was talking to was not hte person living at the house." It was then that they contacted San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department investigators, who recently confirmed that someone was using Nai Ping's phone to impersonate him and made extensive fraudulent transactions with his bank account. Hou says that on top of all of that, they drained his father's entire retirement savings and used it to purchase gold bars online. "Over a $1 million worth of gold bars, which is extremely strange because he has never bought gold in his life," he said. "He's not an online-savvy person." Hou is though, and it's that role in the cryptocurrency investing world that has him wondering if there's a connection because of it. "It's possible, I'm not sure if they looked up my profile," he said. "Typically I would think if you're a big player you would get a ransom." Family has now set up a tip website where they're offering a $250,000 reward for information that leads to Nai Ping's return or an arrest. They've also hired private investigators to further search efforts.
