By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department On Thursday, 9/2/10, at approximately 1825 hrs., Sheriff’s Deputies from the Ojai Police Station were dispatched to a traffic collision involving two pedestrians and a Toyota sedan. The collision occurred in the area of El Paseo Road and West Ojai Avenue. Sheriff’s Deputies and Ventura County Fire personnel from Station 21 found the two pedestrians lying in the roadway on El Paseo Road, west of Canada Street with injuries. Fire Personnel and medical personnel from Life Line Ambulance treated the two pedestrians at the scene before they were transported to Ojai Hospital for additional examination and treatment. The driver of the Toyota sedan, Lavonne Vail, was wearing her seatbelt and was not injured in the traffic collision. Ms. Vail stated the late afternoon sun made it difficult for her to see the pedestrians in the roadway. The Sheriff’s Department would like to remind pedestrians and drivers to take an extra moment and ensure the roadway is clear before crossing. The positioning of the early morning and late afternoon sun can create vision issues for both drivers and pedestrians. The Sheriff’s Department investigation is continuing to determine the cause of this collision. Location: El Paseo Road & West Ojai Avenue, Ojai, CA Officer Preparing Release: Senior Deputy Jim Popp #1674 |
