A swift-water rescue was launched Tuesday after multiple occupied vehicles became stuck in moving water in Palm Springs.

Palm Springs Fire Department crews arrived to North Indian Canyon Drive just south of Interstate 10 at around 12:30 p.m., and were working to rescue the occupied vehicles stuck in the fast-moving water, according to fire officials.

The public was asked to avoid the area as the water forced the closure of North Indian Canyon Drive in both directions.

No further information was immediately available.
