CHP said a 21-year-old Elk Grove man was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu sedan wrong-way northbound when he collided with a 41-year-old San Bernardino man who was driving a 2020 Toyota Camry sedan in the southbound lane at about 65 miles per hour.
For unknown reasons, police said the drivers did not see each other until impact. The front of the Chevrolet collided with the right front of the Toyota. That impact caused the Chevrolet to veer to the left in the direction of a big rig that was traveling in a third lane, southbound.

Police said Warner's cause of death is listed as asphyxiation by 'submersion. Reps for Warner weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The 54-year-old actor's death was announced via X Monday by a woman named Kimara who claimed to be his cousin. 'My cousin died yesterday after drowning in costa rica,' she posted.

Cupertino burglary leads to Bay Area theft ring, Sheriff's Office says; suspects arrested

A residential burglary in Cupertino last month led to the discovery of a burglary and identity theft ring responsible for crimes across the Bay Area, authorities said Wednesday. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that deputies arrested three suspects and recovered stolen vehicles, credit cards, jewelry, and hundreds of pieces of stolen mail. On June 20, a family in Cupertino returned home to find that their house had been broken into and ransacked. The thieves had stolen nearly $18,000 in jewelry and electronics, along with a 2019 Porsche Cayenne and a 2024 Porsche Taycan. Detectives linked the stolen cars to other crimes across San Jose, Santa Clara, and other locations, including a police chase in Santa Clara, the Sheriff's Office said. Surveillance footage from neighborhood security cameras and local businesses generated leads that connected the suspects to additional Bay Area crimes. "This case showed how quickly a single crime can tie into broader networks of theft and fraud," said lead investigator Det. Roslyn Weatherall in a prepared statement. "Working together across divisions helped us uncover and stop further harm." On July 17, after a deputy found one of the stolen vehicles at the Hayes Mansion Hotel in San Jose, multiple Sheriff's Office units coordinated a takedown operation. San Jose residents Emillano Ontiveros, 39, and Brandi French, 26, were arrested on charges of burglary and receiving stolen property. They were being held without bail at the Santa Clara County Main Jail, records show. Kevin Monge, 36, was also arrested, and the Sheriff's Office did not provide his hometown. He and the other suspects are facing additional charges that include identity theft, check fraud, drug possession, and possession of burglary tools, the office said. Monge did not appear to be in custody as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the county's inmate locator. Among the evidence recovered from the hotel room were: The Sheriff's Office also said that both stolen vehicles were recovered as well as many of the stolen jewelry items. "Our detectives showed outstanding determination and teamwork on this case," said Sheriff Robert Jonsen in a statement. "Their dedication has not only brought justice but returned peace of mind to a family that was deeply impacted." The investigation was ongoing, and detectives were working with partner agencies and contacting potential victims to return stolen property, the office said. Anyone with information about the suspects or the crimes was encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office Investigative Services Division at 408-808-4500.

Manteca residents weigh in on police staffing in community focus group

One per 1,000 — that's the so-called "standard" of how many police officers are needed per 1,000 residents. In Manteca, the police department is trying to change that standard by becoming more efficient. "We're doing a data-driven analysis of our actual numbers, crunching them to see how many officers we actually need for patrol to adequately protect this community," Manteca Police Chief Stephen Schluer said. The Manteca Police Department has 83 officers, with 44 on patrol. On Wednesday, they held a community focus group asking the public to weigh in on what they consider safe staffing levels within the department. "I think our police department has matured, improved a great deal over the last four to eight years," Manteca resident Judy Blumhorst shared. "I think we've turned over. We're using our resources better and we're also able to fund things a little better." The group also discussed topics like overall safety within the city and what residents like and don't like about the department, all to help shape its future and how the city uses its Measure Q sales tax money over the next 20 years. "A lot of it is towards public safety," Blumhorst continued. "This is supposed to be dedicated to public safety, and there is a commission of citizens who are supposed to review and make a report every year. We have no legislative power, but we do have oversight pulpit." This community meeting regarding police staffing has been years in the making. While present at the beginning, the police chief stepped out of the meeting for a reason. "I wanted to be them to be able to speak freely without having police representatives there and get their honest input because that's what we need," Chief Schluer explained. "We need honest input from the public." The last time Manteca police asked for public input like this was more than a decade ago. With residents and the police department coming together, they hope to build a more effective and transparent relationship.
