A serious California boat accident that occurred in 2006 has recently seen the two men responsible arrested. The 8-year-old boy was knee boarding at Shaver Lake with his father, who was driving the boat at the time. Another boat struck the boy because it had failed to stop; the two men responsible then fled the scene and didn’t offer the California boat accident injury victim aid, a violation of the state Harbor & Navigations regulations.

In another tragic California drunk driving accident, one girl was killed and two others were seriously injured in a car wreck over the weekend.
The car was driven by an 18-year-old girl who was arrested after the accident under suspicion of drunk driving. All three passengers were thrown from the vehicle, which then flipped and rolled several times. It appears none of the passengers were wearing their seatbelts. The female driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the two boys riding with her were both taken to the hospital with broken bones.

The California fire, known as the Zaca Fire in Santa Barbara, has devoured almost 100,000 acres. The fire started when sparks from a ranch laborer’s grinder caught ablaze and rapidly spread to the surrounding forest.
The tremendous cost of fighting this California fire is the result of the heavy use of aircraft in combating the inferno. Thankfully, not a single California burn injury has been reported, but the man responsible for starting the fire may not feel the same, as he will be presented with the final bill (already up to $54 million) when the fire is finally put out.

Two people were killed by two different drivers in hit-and-run crashes this past weekend in California. The California hit-and-run accidents occurred in San Francisco, and claimed the lives of a Canadian navy lieutenant and a retired AAA inspector, who was struck near his home.
California auto accidents happen all the time, but hit-and-run incidents are a serious crime. Investigators are still looking for the negligent drivers.

News out of San Francisco, California this morning may bode well for the rest of the nation. The law AB 1825, passed by the California state legislature in 2004, became effective this morning on August 17, 2007.
The law requires all California supervisors to complete two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years. The Web-based training is now considered official; several years ago, however, laws in place did not specify whether or not training done online counted as compliant.
Online sexual harassment training makes it easier for both small and large businesses to comply with all regulations set forth by the state of California, and will hopefully decrease incidents of California sexual harassment in the years to come.
