Frank Penney • July 8, 2024

In a troubling incident on Sunday evening in Garden Grove, a suspected DUI driver was apprehended after colliding with a family riding bikes. The crash occurred at approximately 7:30 p.m. near Haster Street and Twin Tree Lane. The family, consisting of a 27-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman, and their three children, were on electric bikes and pulling bike trailers when the incident transpired.

Emergency responders rushed all five victims to the hospital for treatment. According to Garden Grove Police Department, one adult and two children were in critical condition following the collision.

Eyewitnesses reported that a 2003 Toyota Camry fled the scene after striking the family.

Twin Bridges Accident: Man Pinned Between Cars While Installing Chains on Highway 50

By Frank Penney • February 11, 2025

A quiet morning on Highway 50 turned dangerous when a driver fixing tire chains was seriously injured by a speeding vehicle near Twin Bridges. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 54-year-old man had pulled his Nissan over to the shoulder on a curve east of Twin Bridges around 10 a.m. His wife and three children remained inside the vehicle as he worked on the left rear tire in the icy conditions. As he crouched near the tire, an 18-year-old driver in a Subaru lost control while traveling between 45 and 55 mph on the slushy road. The Subaru slid into the Nissan, pinning the man between the two vehicles before tossing him into the air. The Nissan was forced up against the guardrail from the impact. At the time, chain controls were in effect, and the posted speed limit in the area was 25 mph. Emergency responders arrived quickly, and the injured man was taken to the hospital with major injuries.
