REGION - Residents will get a great preview of what’s to come January 1 on New Years Eve when 31 floats constructed in Irwindale and Azusa will slowly make their way to Pasadena.

The floats are scheduled to leave as early as 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and take the following route:
  • West on Avenida Padilla
  • South on Irwindale Road
  • South on Irwindale Avenue
  • West on Arrow Highway
  • West on Arrow (Arrow turns into Live Oak which then turns into Las Tunas Drive)
  • North on Temple City Boulevard (Turns into Sunset Boulevard)
  • West on Huntington Drive
  • North on Fair Oaks Avenue
  • West on Columbia Street or California Boulevard 
  • North on Orange Grove Avenue
Limited portions of the escorts will also travel west in the 16100 block of Ornelas Street to Irwindale Avenue, according to the Irwindale Police Department.

Intermittent street closures began at 6 a.m. in the 16000 block of Avenida Padilla in Irwindale and the 1300 block of West Optical drive in Azusa for float judging and support vehicle staging, Irwindale Police said.

A full street closure is scheduled in Irwindale at 1 p.m. for float judging and support vehicle staging in the 16100 block of Ornelas Street in Irwindale.

Full street closures are scheduled to start at 2 p.m. for the caravan on the following streets:
  • 16000 block of Avenida Padilla in Irwindale
  • 6300 block of Irwindale Road in Irwindale
  • 1300 block of W. Optical in Azusa

Temporary “no parking” restrictions will affect portions of Irwindale Road, Ornelas Street and Adelante Street throughout the day.

Access to and from the Irwindale Gold Line Station, neighboring parking structure and nearby bus stop for Foothill Transit line 185 will be impacted.

The caravan is expected to last roughly 6 hours.

East and west traffic on Arrow Highway will be greatly impacted as floats travel south on Irwindale Avenue to westbound Arrow Highway.

The California Highway Patrol and local law enforcement will provide escorts for the floats on their journey to Pasadena.

REGION - The driver of a 2018 Honda Civic died after his car veered across the southbound 57 freeway near Diamond and crashed over a dirt embankment Friday.

The California Highway Patrol identified Carlos Silva Cabrera, a 36-year-old Riverside man, as the driver who died at the scene south of Brea Canyon Road December 27.
The crash occurred around 10:05 p.m. Silva Cabrera was in an unknown lane at an unknown speed when he drifted into the dirt embankment.

CHP traffic logs initially indicated the Honda veered into a canyon. By 10:33 p.m., a CHP officer found the vehicle.

A Sig Alert was issued for the No. 3 and 4 lanes at 3:05 a.m. The Sig Alert was cancelled at 5:52 a.m., the CHP said.

Los Angeles Woman Identified in Fatal Duarte Crash

LOS ANGELES - A 21-year-old woman was named as the victim of a multi-vehicle wreck on the 210 freeway December 15.

Jennifer Gainer Goldsbury was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

Four vehicles were involved in a colossal collision caused by an unknown driver who abandoned a black Ford Fusion after hitting a guardrail on the westbound side of the 210 freeway east of Buena Vista Street at 2:45 a.m.

The drivers of a 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2006 Chevrolet Malibu, 2010 Ford Mustang and 2015 Ford Escape could not brake in time to avoid the Ford Fusion due to the oil, coolant, transmission fluid and brake fluid spilled across lanes of the freeway, according to a California Highway Patrol collision report obtained by SGV CityWatch.
A passenger in the Highlander, later identified as Goldsbury, was ejected and sustained fatal injuries. She died at the scene, the CHP said.

Goldsbury was reported not wearing a seatbelt -- the only one among the injured to not be properly restrained, the CHP said.

One of the injured drivers, 25-year-old Carlos Estrada of Woodland Hills, was jailed on suspicion of driving under the influence. It is unclear if Estrada’s DUI driving caused Goldsbury’s fatal injuries, the CHP said.

Estrada suffered a fractured thumb. Others injured suffered from complaints of pain. The driver of the Highlander suffered a parietal hematoma and broken sternum, the collision report listed.

It is unclear if the driver of the abandoned Ford Fusion was arrested.

Anyone with additional information on the crash is urged to call Officer D. Gonzalez of the CHP Baldwin Park Office at 626-33-1164.

REGION - A man accused of scamming eight people out of more than $100,000 after feigning injury in traffic collisions faced a judge Monday.

Arcadia man Richard Henry Solis, 57, was charged with two felony counts of grand theft from an elder and six misdemeanor counts of petty theft from an elder, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Deputy District Attorney Melanie Drew alleges Solis scammed victims, who range in age from 65 to 91 years old, in the Pasadena area from September 2018 to October 2019.

Solis claimed the victims had injured him with their vehicles and asked for money for medical expenses or that he would steal their belongings, Santiago said.

Solis was previously convicted of seven counts of first-degree burglary in 2006 and 2009.

If convicted as charged, Solis faces a possible maximum sentence of 16 years in state prison, Santiago said.
