A portion of Lakeway Drive was closed early Thursday morning, April 17, after a woman crashed her SUV into a power pole, according to the Bellingham Police Department. Police believe Tawny Lesha Julius, 22, was intoxicated when she crashed her 2002 Cadillac Escalade into a power pole near Lisa Lane just before 2 a.m., causing the pole to buckle and collapse onto her car, police spokesman Bob Vander Yacht said. Puget Sound Energy had to respond to the crash scene, where wires were dangling over the road, and traffic had to be rerouted.
Police are searching for one of the hit-and-run drivers who struck a 14-year-old girl who darted into traffic in a busy Orange County intersection. The crash happened Monday in Santa Ana. Surveillance video released Tuesday shows the teen trying to dodge cars at 17th and Bristol streets. First, she is struck by a red pick-up truck, and the driver speeds away. She is then struck again by a black car. Though the video shows her flying into the air and appearing to land on her upper shoulders, the girl suffered leg injuries and has been released from the hospital.
