Traffic backed up at the southbound Interstate 5 Palm Avenue exit Friday afternoon after two separate accidents, including one in which a bicycle rider was hit by a car near the corner of Palm and Saturn Boulevard, authorities said.
A woman was riding her bike against traffic around 1:30 p.m. near the Southland Plaza Shopping Center when she was hit by the car and trapped underneath the vehicle for a period of time, according to a San Diego Police Department watch commander.
The unidentified woman suffered head injuries and was transported to the hospital.
In a separate incident about 2:45 p.m. near the Palm Avenue exit on Interstate 5, a woman on a motorcycle was hit by a Ford Expedition, said Larry Landeros with California Highway Patrol. The motorcycle would land on top of her, and she suffered injuries to her legs.
...anyone know the background on that..?
We also tried to get 19th Street finished to Main St --- were told to forget it ...
so we called the sheriff's every time we saw them gathering - i called so many times i would ask for a 'junkie sweep on ocean lane' and dispatch would know exactly what i was talking about...they made dozens of arrests ... ...and i turned into code compliance 17 city and state code violations on the property - with 12 pages of color pictures... this city double tickets - if the sheriff's dept is called the city tickets the tenant and the landlord....1st ticket $100, 2nd ticket $200, 3rd ticket $400... if the tenant violates code compliance the landlord is also ticketed....i told dave garcie to tell jerry bice that i'm going track every property he owns and manages and write them up for everything i can find....i can find a lot.... .....no more junkies on ocean lane...
I do believe that the City and shopping center owner should really think about providing an alternate exit as a way of helping to make the center more accessible. Libi, thanks for keeping an eye on our city even when those who are paid to fail. Jack
