I think the problem was that the guy was self-aware… about the fact that he’d stolen a van.

Good it is about time!

The driver of the stolen van swerved through Leon’s parking lot, then went across Wasington Street and through the fence into the parking lot of the Fiesta Cafe.(btw… the Fiesta …

I see you’re as cheerful as ever.

It looks like one of my grandkids colored it in. Very cool!

sure steal it …but don’t speed to evade the police

I question if it will help someone going est 80-90

And Elise Scafani (up for recall) was a part of that previous council.

The pictures make it look like the accident took place in the Leon’s auto care parking lot. Or did they just drag the cars there to get them Out of …

50 years ago, Broadway was pretty much dead on a week night with the sidewalks practically rolled up. and during the day, EPD traffic enforcement was far greater. I remember …

There are actually a lot of boomers that post here. So.

Whatever happened to the plan to split Broadway into two separate roads like 4th and 5th street? Is that up to Caltrans since it’s a state highway or the city? …

Rude

I think that when people throw out the ” medical issue” theory they are saying that someone stroked out, lost consciousness and drove into someone/something at the full speed that …

Head-on collision on 299 is one of my worst nightmares. So glad everyone survived. Ugh!

Even better if people obeyed the law in the first place. But in this case it sounds like this car thief/reckless driver did pay the ultimate penalty.

I am the accused, falsely I might add. I was robbed at gunpoint 3 months ago and the Arcata police department did squat. It affected me in ways I couldn’t …

When I driving I see speeding cars even in the 40 mile per hour construction zone between Eureks and Arcata. It’s a topic discussed often.

It’s that corner. I’ve seen an accident there at night the guy going too fast and the back end of his car almost went through dons rent all windows. That …

Say hello to, Moloch!!!

Until drug users are punished severely, this will just be repeated over and over. There is no financial incentive to stop drug traffic. Too many people make money… law enforcement, …

Honestly, I’ve been seeing a lot more units hanging out and catching people. They are also in areas I rarely saw them before. I think they are definitely working on …

The van was stolen from our employee’s home in Fortuna. It appears the thief was the fatality in the accident. We don’t know much more than that at the moment.

I am sick of people making the “Oh maybe it was a medical issue that caused this person to drive at a high rate of speed and crash into someone” …

I enjoyed rodeo as a kid. Sometime in my teen years they started injecting a lot of politics into it, and I never returned as an adult because it became …

I wonder who is responsible for the $100k budget deficit? The former mayor? Seems that the new council has inherited the city’s financial status from the previous council.

Why the quotes around sports? Regardless of your opinion of animal rights, there’s no denying the athleticism involved in the events.

The New Life service van was seen by multiple witnesses, speeding in excess of 100 mph on 101, flying past the Loleta exit. It miraculously made it to Eureka, even …

No medical emergency. Thief stole the van, then crashed, and died in the process.
