A Difficult Week for Bullhead City
The closure comes amid other fatal incidents in the tri-state river community. On September 11, Bullhead City police and emergency personnel responded to a fatal drowning near State Route 95 and Bullhead Parkway, where a 55-year-old local woman waded fully clothed into the Colorado River, according to FOX 10 Phoenix. Emergency crews recovered her body downstream after a three-hour search that involved dive teams and local drone operators, as Hoodline reported in its earlier coverage of that Colorado River drowning.
Earlier this month, a 30-year-old woman was killed at Lee Avenue and Sixth Street, and the suspected driver was arrested in Laughlin, Hoodline reported. A separate fatal rollover and SR 163 closure were also reported near Laughlin, according to Hoodline's earlier report on the SR 163 closure near Laughlin.
