3 killed in fiery Anaheim car wreck - NewsBreak

Three men were killed in a fiery car wreck in a residential Anaheim neighborhood early Monday morning which split a car in half. The single-car crash occurred at the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and La Palma Avenue just before 2 a.m. The Mercedes sedan was speeding down Harbor when the driver lost control and the car slammed into a brick wall and sheared a hydrant, Anaheim police Sgt. Jacob Gallacher told CBSLA. Three men in their 20s died at the scene. They were not immediately identified.A police cruiser was in the area and its officers witnessed the car speeding by, Gallacher said. The officers rushed to the crash scene, pulled one of the victims out of the car and attempted CPR on him, but he died. The car was burned up and split in half, and the impact was so strong that pieces of the car were strewn on the street and in the front yards of nearby homes, dozens of feet apart. It's unclear if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the wreck. The cause is under investigation.

Ex-Coronado Resident Gets Tentative 3-Month Sentence for Capitol Breach

A former Coronado resident was tentatively sentenced Monday to three months in prison for taking part in the breach of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. A federal judge deferred the sentence until March 15, at which point Jeffrey Alexander Smith , 34, could receive custody, to be followed by two years of probation, with 200 hours of community service. The sentence was deferred until the court could resolve a legal issue of whether Smith can face both custody and probation. Smith pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating and picketing in a capitol building for taking part in the siege. Prosecutors were seeking five months imprisonment, while Smith’s attorneys requested probation and community service.
