MOJAVE DESERT: Big-rig wreck kills motorist near Baker
A big-rig rear-ended a car yesterday along Interstate 15 deep in the Mojave Desert killing a 59-year-old Las Vegas woman who was driving the 2012 Chevy Impala, according to San Bernardino County coroner’s officials and California Highway Patrol officers.
Juanita Mullin died at the scene of the 10:46 a.m. wreck Monday along the freeway’s northbound lanes about four miles north of Baker.
“For unknown reasons, (Mullin) was either stopped or traveling extremely slow … with the vehicle’s emergency flashers activated,” CHP officers said in a written statement.
A 67-year-old trucker driving a 2008 International momentarily diverted his attention by looking inside his cab and slammed into the car, causing the Impala to overturn and the big-rig to run off the freeway and up an embankment, according to the statement.

Drowning deaths: Civic body slaps Rs 50,000 fine on contractor
A day after three brothers drowned in a pit dug along the Mithi river in Kalina, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) fined the contractor a meagre Rs 50,000. The civic body also sent a showcause notice to Shyam Narayan on Wednesday, asking him to explain the security lapses around the construction site in terms of proper barricading. BMC officials admitted that the security guards employed by the contractor were not present at the site on Tuesday since it was a public holiday.
While the Kurla police station had earlier named MMRDA officials in the FIR on Tuesday, on Wednesday it was made clear by MMRDA that the work was being done by the BMC. “Investigations showed that the BMC contractor is responsible for the negligence that claimed the lives of three children. We have now named the contractor in the probe,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone V) Dhananjay Kulkarni.
According to senior civic officials, contractors are responsible for maintaining security around construction sites. They are expected to adhere to the tenders conditions, whereby they are expected to adequately barricade the construction site and deploy security guards to monitor the area. Often, however, the tin barricades are stolen by local residents who sell them in the scrap market.
Chief engineer (storm water drains) L S Watkar said, “We have taken the necessary action by penalising the contractor. He has been asked to respond to the security lapses.”
“Anyone can easily trespass to the trench after crossing the premises of Kailas Parbat residential building at Kapadia Nagar. People from our slum have been regularly complaining to all agencies and the police department to put in place security measures since most of the children play here for lack of any other place,” said Azhar Chaudhury, resident of the area and uncle of the three children who drowned on Tuesday.
Eight-year-old twins Abdul Rahim and Abdul Karim and 12-year-old Abdul Aziz were playing in the open area adjacent to the river at Kapadia Nagar on CST Road when the incident took place. The pit was dug as part of the ongoing Mithi river project being undertaken by the BMC, under which retaining walls are being built to train the flow of the river.

At Least Three Yacht Racers Killed After Apparent Collision with Large Cargo Ship off California Coast [UPDATED]
A screenshot of the Aegean’s SPOT Messenger feed, last updated Saturday, Apr 28th at 1:36 a.m., right on North Coronado Island
UPDATE: The Latitude 38 blog reports that other boats in the race reported have a close encounter with a large ship around the time and in the same vacinity.
Michael Lawler, a crewmember aboard the Newport Beach-based Choate 48Amante, reports having a close encounter with a freighter in the same vicinity and time as Aegean‘s tracker stopped working. “We were farther offshore, about 10-12 miles west of the Coronados,” says Lawler. “Around 1:30 a.m., I went on watch and saw a freighter bearing down on us at what was probably 20 knots. His range lights were lined up and I could see both red and green bow lights. I didn’t have time to get on the radio, so I grabbed my two million-candlepower spotlight and aimed it at the ship. That caught his attention and he took a hard left turn to take our stern. He passed about 1/4 mile behind us.” Lawler, who circumnavigated aboard his North Wind 47 Traveller, says the wind was light, the seas were a little lumpy, and visibility was good.
However, a recently discovered feed of the Aegean’s SPOT Messenger showing the satellite track of the vessel (above), last updated at approximately 1:36 a.m., with the vessel directly on top of North Coronado Island, suggesting the vessel may have broken up on the rocks of the island.
This chart shows the search area for the sailing vessel Aegean. U.S. Coast Guard graphic (click for high res)Original: At least three sailors competing in a yacht race from Newport Beach, CA to Ensenada, Mexico have been killed and one still remains missing after an apparent collision with a large cargo ship.
Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA), host of the N2E annual regatta, said that the sailboatAegean, a Hunter 376 representing the Little Ships Fleet club, vanished from the race’s online tracking system at approximately 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Hours later, vessels in the area of the Coronado Islands reported finding debris in the water, which prompted the launch of a Coast Guard search leading to the discovery of the wreckage, including the rear transom with the vessel’s name on it.
By mid afternoon, the bodies of three crewmembers and loads of badly beaten debris had been recovered. The search for the fourth crewmember continued Sunday, but was called off Sunday afternoon by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The cause of the incident is still under investigation, but initial reports indicate that the incident appears to be the result of collision with a much larger ship that did not see or even likely know of the collision.
“It was real obvious it had been hit just because the debris was so small,” a searcher told the Pasadena Star-News. The yacht looked like it “had gone through a blender.”
On Monday, it was revealed that the sailbot did not issue a distress signal or mayday.
A crew list was not immediately available, nor was it first known how many other crew may have been on the boat, but could have been sailed by five or more persons, said NOSA in a statement
The race started off Newport Beach in mid-day Friday and many boats finished in Ensenada Saturday, with the last ones due in Sunday. Weather conditions were lighter than normal at the time and place of the incident, with boats reporting winds of only 1 or 2 knots.
The incident marks the first fatalities in the 65-year history of the race, which saw 213 boats enter this year.
Man killed in I-5 crash near Coalinga is identified
A man killed Sunday in a crash on Interstate 5 just south of Jayne Avenue near Coalinga was identified today by the Fresno County Coroner as Scott Thudium, 52 of San Pablo.
The California Highway Patrol said that Thudium was in a Mitsubishi Montero driven by Cynthia Dayro, 48, of San Pablo when Dayro tried to set the SUV’s cruise control and drifted off the roadway. Dayro lost control and the car rolled several times.
Thudium was thrown from the car and died at the scene. Dayro suffered minor injuries. Isabell Thudium, 5, suffered moderate injuries.
Cause of the Fresno County Crash
As a passenger, the deceased likely could have done nothing to prevent this fatal collision that ultimately took his life. The California Highway Patrol will surely look at the speed of the vehicle, witness reports, and other factors to determine what occurred. Collisions such as this one can have countless causes, including unsafe passing maneuvers, swerving to avoid an object in the road, falling asleep at the wheel, driving under the influence, or driver distraction.

Woman killed in I-805 crash identified
A grandmother killed in a crash while on her way to Disneyland with her family was identified Thursday as 65-year-old Laura Hall of San Diego.
Hall was riding in the back seat of a black Toyota Rav4 that was going north on Interstate 805 about 6:35 a.m. Wednesday when the SUV was struck by a car near Sorrento Valley Road, officials said.

The SUV flipped over several times and came to rest on a concrete divider where it ended up perched precariously above a 30-foot drop at a construction site.
The driver of the SUV, Brian D. Thomas, 43, suffered broken ribs, cuts and bruises, according to the California Highway Patrol. His wife, Rebecca A. Thomas, 42, the right-front passenger, suffered minor injuries.
