A collapsed freeway bridge on Interstate 10 has become a brief but welcome gift to Yuma as the sleepy town sees thousands more visitors as traffic between Phoenix and Los Angeles is rerouted.
Yvonne Peach was up late posting a new special on the website for her historic Yuma hotel.
The deal — $159 for two nights at the Historic Coronado Motor Hotel plus a $25 dinner gift card — was aimed at the steady stream of drivers passing through the desert city to avoid a collapsed freeway bridge on Interstate 10 to the north.
Yuma is usually a sleepy town on the way to San Diego.
