 California Highway Patrol A Santa Paula woman was killed on Thursday, May 14th in a two-vehicle traffic collision between El Rio and Saticoy. An 85-year old Fillmore woman was injured in the crash. The accident occurred before 4:30pm on Vineyard Avenue, near Highway 118. The 30-year old woman was driving a Mustang southbound on Vineyard, when she drifted into the northbound lanes, according to the California Highway Patrol. The Fillmore resident, driving a Buick, was unable to avoid the collision and was trapped in her car. She had to be extricated by firefighters, and was transported to Ventura County Medical Center with a broken sternum. Alcohol consumption by the deceased may have been a factor, according to the CHP.

Red Cross seeks blood donors in weeks leading up to summer
 American Red Cross of Ventura County The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to help ensure blood is available for patients in need by giving blood in May before the busy summer season kicks in. Blood and platelet donations often decrease when regular donors are vacationing and school is out of session, but the need for blood is constant. Donors are needed in the weeks leading up to summer to help alleviate this seasonal decline. Donors of all blood types - especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative - are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who come to donate blood between May 23 and May 25, 2015, will receive a limited-edition Red Cross-branded RuMeR tote bag, while supplies last. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). American Red Cross Woodland Hills Donation Center Monday and Tuesday: 12:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Additional blood donation opportunities Oxnard Simi Valley Thousand Oaks How to donate blood About the American Red Cross |
