Sarah Salam, a 21-year-old resident of Germany, was struck in the 20300 block of PCH Saturday about 8:45 p.m. near the Moonshadows Restaurant, according to Lt. Todd Weber of the Sheriff’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station.

“The driver stopped, was cooperative and there was no DUI,” Sgt. Shawn Rude of the Malibu/Lost Hills Station said. “It may be an unfortunate accident.”

The limo driver was on his way to pick up a client, Ruda said.

During the investigation into the accident, PCH was closed from 8:45 p.m. Saturday until 2:15 Sunday morning.

The driver was not cited.

The crash happened along Route 40 near Martin Boulevard Sunday morning. Police say it was a single vehicle accident involving a Ford Mustang.

The accident killed two people, a man and a woman. Two other people, the driver and a passenger, have been taken to the hospital.

Their names have not been released.

The accident is under investigation. Officials say speed may have been a factor.

Tapia was employed by Volt Workforce Solutions, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health spokesman Peter Melton said Friday afternoon. The company has offices in Santa Rosa and San Francisco.

Melton said preliminary reports indicate Tapia and two other workers were moving an A-frame rack on rollers that contained seven 100-pound sheets of glass at Thermalsun Glass Products in the 3000 block of Brickway Boulevard in Santa Rosa.

“The initial report was the glass sheets fell on him. I’m guessing he died from the weight of it,” Melton said.

There was no initial indication from Cal/OSHA or the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office that Tapia was cut by the glass.

Sheriff’s Lt. Tim Duke said during the movement of the glass sheets, the A-frame tipped “causing the glass sheets to dislodge and topple” the worker.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, a coroner’s office spokeswoman said.

The State Patrol says a vehicle on westbound I-94 lost control, went through the median and under a semi-trailer.

Details are limited and it is not yet known if the snowy weather is a factor in the crash.

The Sacramento County coroner’s office identified him as 36-year-old Spencer West Myers.

The incident began at about 4:55 a.m. when a Fairfield woman lost control of her 2004 Toyota Camry while driving east in the No. 2 lane west of Dixon Avenue, CHP Sgt. Phil Grant said.

The Toyota overturned and landed on its roof in the fast lane, Grant said.

Myers pulled over near the center divider east of the crash scene to help, Grant said.

A short time later, both Myers and the overturned Camry were struck by a 2002 Dodge Stratus driven by a Fairfield man, Grant said. The woman in the Camry was ejected from her car.

She and Myers were both taken to the University of California at Davis Medical Center, where Myers died at 6:11 a.m., according to the coroner’s office. The woman is expected to survive, Grant said.

The driver of the Dodge was not injured, and was not cited for any violations, Grant said.

Grant said the CHP does not want to discourage people from stopping to help at accident scenes, but wants to remind them to be aware of their surroundings.

The deaths of good Samaritans “happen all too often,” Grant said.

The crash is still under investigation.

The accident blocked lanes, and the CHP issued a Sig-alert at 5:05 a.m. All of the eastbound lanes were briefly shut down at Midway Road at about 5:20 a.m. to allow a medical helicopter to land on the highway.

All lanes were cleared shortly before 7 a.m.

Three people were in a car traveling north on Route 65, when it crossed the center line and was t-boned by another vehicle.

[worldnow id=8784451 width=385 height=255 type=video]

A man was the only occupant of the second vehicle and he was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

The driver and front seat passenger of the first vehicle were killed on impact. The victims have been identified as 19-year-old David Mooney and 22-year-old Christopher Lantzy, both of New Brighton were killed in the accident.

A female in the back seat was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

“Actually, before we even got the call, one of my officers heard the impact. It was just from what I can see, a direct impact. We’re not seeing any skidding. It looks like the one crossed over and there was direct impact,” Ohio Township Police Chief Norbert Micklos said.

[worldnow id=8784999 width=385 height=255 type=video]

While Ohio Township Police could not say for certain, they’re looking at speed playing a potential role.  Nearby, Bellevue police may have seen the vehicle minutes before the crash.

“He believes he saw that same vehicle traveling down 65 and their town was unable to catch up with them.  Came through 65 at a high rate of speed.  He believes it was the same vehicle but was never able to catch up to it,” Ohio Township Police Corporal Don Manz said.

Meanwhile, Mooney’s death ends an eight-month investigation by New Brighton Police.

They say De’Andre Moon, a star running back at Rochester High School, was shot and killed last year on a house boat owned by Mooney.

He claimed to police that the shooting was in self-defense.

Emergency responders were dispatched to the Henkel Corporation building at 2850 Willow Pass Road around 11:20 a.m. on reports of a person injured by machinery, Contra Costa Fire Protection District spokesman Steve Aubert said.

Crews transported the man to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where he died from his injuries. A coroner’s deputy identified him Tuesday as 26-year-old David Eleidjan.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, is conducting an investigation into the incident.

So far investigators have learned that Eleidjan became caught in an industrial mixer machine that crushed and amputated his legs, Cal/OSHA spokeswoman Erika Monterroza said.

The 26-year-old had been hired by Tennessee-based staffing company HRComp to work temporarily for Henkel, she said.

Cal/OSHA, which was notified of the fatal incident around 11:40 a.m. Monday, has launched a dual investigation into both employers.

Monterroza said the investigation could take up to six months to complete and will involve interviewing witnesses and examining company safety practices.

Talking to WWJ Newsradio 950, police said two people were killed and two more were critically injured.  Later in the day, some reports said an additional victim had died, but police said they would not confirm the additional death until family members were notified.

The accident happened around 3:30 a.m. Friday on Woodward and Courtland Street, in front of the old McGregor Branch of the Detroit Public Library, south of Davison Freeway.

Highland Park police say just prior to the crash, an officer was attempting to stop a southbound traveling van on Woodward. When that van wouldn’t pull over however, the officer decided to back off.

“Due to the weather conditions, they did not feel it was safe to continue on. The van crossed left of center, striking a northbound van, resulting in two fatalities in the northbound van and two critical in the van that was traveling southbound,” Ofc. Christopher Zuellig said.

Reporting live from the scene, WWJ’s Mike Campbell said it appeared one of the vans caught fire after the collision, the other was pushed onto the front lawn of the library. Both vehicles were completely wrecked, with glass and other debris littering the roadway.

An investigation is ongoing.

The train hit the teenager on the tracks north of the Hayward Amtrak station around 6:40 p.m. and the Alameda County coroner’s bureau was called to the scene, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said.

The victim was identified by the Alameda County coroner’s bureau as 15-year-old Austin Price of Hayward.

Price was hit by Train 544 traveling from San Jose to Sacramento, Magliari said.

[worldnow id=8767503 width=480 height=360 type=video]

Authorities said the Price was among three teens playing a game of chicken on the railroad tracks across from San Lorenzo High School at the time of the crash. The other teens were not hurt in the incident.

“Those juveniles were apparently engaged in a game of chicken with one another. One of the juveniles, a male, was struck by the northbound Amtrak train,” said Deputy April Luckett of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.

“It’s very important that kids realize how dangerous the tracks are, that parents reiterate that to their children that they need to stay off the tracks,” Luckett said.

The 133 passengers and five crew members aboard the train were not injured. The collision caused delays of about two hours for Capitol Corridor Amtrak trains.

The tracks in the area are owned by Union Pacific Railroad.

According to the Associated Press, Heit died shortly after the April 3 crash in Greeley, but his parents and police are hoping the photo of the mundane text on his iPhone will serve as a stark reminder to drivers.

The photo, published Wednesday in The Greeley Tribune, shows Heit was responding to a friend by typing “Sounds good my man, seeya soon” followed by a few letters before crashing.

In a statement released through police, Heit’s mother says texting while driving can “tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you.”

Deputy Fire Chief Gary Wilkinson said they received a call about the incident, along westbound I-696 at Mound, at around 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

Wilkinson said a semi truck ran over a 1997 Saturn coupe — cutting it in half.

The driver, a 50-year-old Dearborn man, was killed. He was the only person in the crushed vehicle.  The truck driver was uninjured.

Reporting live from the scene, WWJ Newsradio 950′s Vickie Thomas described it as one of the worst accidents she’d ever seen.

Wilkinson described the rescue effort.

“They were able to peel the door off of the car, but they couldn’t get the guy out. So our heavy rescue showed up and it took them about four, five minutes using the jaws [of life] to get him out,” Wilkinson said.

The man was rushed by EMS to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. State police will release his name once his family is notified.

A preliminary State Police investigation revealed that the Saturn driver lost control and struck the concrete retaining wall.

The roadway was wet from overnight rain at the time of the crash. Police say alcohol was not a factor.

As the investigation continues, police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to contact State Trooper Mathis at (248) 595-1725.
