In a blog entry titled “Three undocumented immigrants injured in car crash” posted on May 15, the author said three illegal immigrants could have escaped the police if only their driver had been more careful.
According to the author, the patrolling police car tried to apprehend the immigrants but decided to end the chase since it was too dangerous to travel at a high speed in a bumpy road.
Just when the policemen thought the immigrants had escaped, they received a report which said that the car they were chasing hit a tree and injured the three immigrants onboard.
Meanwhile, illegal aliens have long been a problem in California who choose this state since it has less stringent requirements in legalizing immigrants compared to other jurisdictions.
Also, car chases often occur in California border, especially along Sunrise Highway as illegal immigrants choose this route to avoid police checkpoint.

There was a recent bicycle accident stated in, “Bicyclist seriously injured on Highway 9,” wherein a cyclist was seriously injured after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Saratoga.
Police are still searching for the perpetrator. The family of the victim, Ashley Jackson, is definitely experiencing a hard time, and the fact that driver who caused this terrible incident sped off and did not face the consequences of what he/she has done intensifies the suffering of Jackson’s family. They want the driver to be caught so badly that they offered a reward of $11,000 for any details about his/her identity.
Hit-and-run drivers may think that they can get away from what they have done, or they might be scared of the cost. However, escaping from one’s responsibility just aggravates the situation. The perpetrator knows his/her legal duty and should just come out in the open and face the charges.

Due to the number of plane accidents that occur and the injuries and deaths that it brings, it is important to make sure that planes fly and land safely to avoid these accidents. This is the job of air traffic controllers.
According to “Crisis in California Air Control Staffing”, the Los Angeles International Airport or LAX is now dealing with issues concerning air traffic being controlled by inexperienced trainees, as there has been a significant decrease in the number of skilled air traffic controllers due to retirement.
Inexperienced air traffic controllers should undergo extensive trainings to improve their knowledge and skills so that they can be more efficient. This would help minimize the occurrence of plane accidents.
