Un semai cargado se volcó el viernes pasado en el Freeway 10 y quedo bloqueando varios carriles en dirección oeste, en Cabazon.

El incidente fue reportado poco antes de las 9 de la mañana en el área del Casino Morongo.

Los carriles 2, 3 y 4 fueron cerrados por varios minutos, mientras las grúas hacían su trabajo.

Por fortuna ninguna persona resultó herida y el chofer del tráiler solo se llevó un gran susto.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - UC Santa Barbara is expanding access to higher education by bringing a new bachelor’s degree program directly into Corcoran State Prison in California’s Central Valley.

Through the initiative, UCSB will offer undergraduate coursework in the humanities to incarcerated students as part of a full four-year degree pathway. The program is designed to run over six academic quarters and will combine remote teaching with occasional in-person instruction from university faculty.

The effort marks the first time a University of California bachelor’s degree will be delivered inside a state prison through the LIFTED program.

University leaders report the goal is to broaden educational opportunity behind bars and give students tools to continue their studies and prepare for life after incarceration.

ORCUTT, Calif. (KEYT) - St. Joseph High School in Orcutt is under scrutiny from the County of Santa Barbara due to stray softballs entering the adjacent Knollwood Terrace residents’ yards and causing damage.

As it turns out, Santa Barbara County’s Planning and Development Department has confirmed St. Joseph High School never applied for a permit to build the new softball field.

One resident of Knollwood Estates has collected over 20 softballs, and another has collected at least 30.

Some spectators of the high school’s gameplay have been able to pet a dog who is secured in the backyard.

Residents say these errant softballs have broken roof tiles, potted plants, one broke a window, and one grazed the ponytail of a resident’s granddaughter who was playing in the backyard, a near-miss that could have been an injury.

The Knollwood Terrace Homeowners Association has asked the school to hold gameplay until mitigation measures were in place, and say they were met with refusal. 

The HOA has since issued formal complaints, and St. Joseph High School submitted a retroactive application for approval of the field in December, 2025.

Knollwood HOA board member David Whitham says if the county had been part of the process, they would’ve required 15-foot setbacks from all adjacent properties, but some residents report a 3-foot setback.

Whitham says the county did require the school to extend the safety net fences, but due to a delay in shipment of materials, they’ll be placed after the current season is over.
