A pedestrian and a motorcyclist were killed in a highway crash in Ventura County early morning Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP said officers responded to reports of a crash around 6:05 a.m. on Highway 118 west of Rocky Peak Road in Moorpark.

Officers found an unoccupied car in the center median, and east of the car they found a 33-year-old Canoga Park woman and a 54-year-old Simi Valley man lying in the highway lanes, both deceased.

The victims’ identities are being withheld by CHP pending notification to their families.

According to the preliminary investigation, it’s believed that the woman first crashed her Nissan Altima into the right side guardrail, spinning out of control across all westbound Highway 118 lanes until she crashed into the center median wall.

She then got out of the car and was standing in the first lane when the motorcyclist struck her.

CHP said the force of this crash was so great that it ejected the man from his motorcycle.

Both victims and the motorcycle, a 2020 Triumph Truxton, ended up sprawled across the roadway, west of the crash scene.

No arrests were made and CHP said the involvement of alcohol/drugs is unknown at this time.

The fatal crash closed down the left three lanes of westbound Highway 118 near Rocky Peak Road for about 4 hours, and traffic was redirected through the right lane. 

For additional information regarding the deceased, CHP asked people to please contact the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office at 805-641-4400.

The CHP Moorpark Area Office is investigating this crash and encourages any potential witnesses who have not already given their statements to an investigating officer to contact the CHP Moorpark Area Office at 805-553-0800.

Two state officials in battleground states Arizona and Pennsylvania on Sunday warned American voters that foreign adversaries are trying to sow distrust in U.S. democracy with misinformation about non-citizens voting in the 2024 presidential election.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Al Schmidt were both asked during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” about U.S. intelligence that shows Russia using a fake video and online posts to spread allegations about the possibility of non-citizens voting in the federal election.

“It’s clear that bad faith foreign actors are seeking to undermine confidence in our election results,” Schmidt said. “The video that you’re referring to from Bucks County to anyone who has years of experience in election administration was conspicuously fake. But if you don’t, it’s so easy for people to be sort of deceived by others trying to undermine confidence in our system of government.”

Fontes said that foreign enemies “want to sow distrust in our democracy” and divide Americans further, adding that the source of a lot of this “misinformation” comes from outside the U.S. and is then amplified by people in America who are helping these adversaries.

“The allegation that this is something that might turn an election or is something much bigger than it is, that’s the nonsense that we are dealing with,” Fontes said. “And unfortunately, we still have candidates, elected officials and folks with large megaphones lying. They are directly lying to the American public and they are basically playing the role of useful idiots.”

Fontes further encouraged Americans to “stop being a Russian puppet” and to “look to the folks who are actually doing the work.”

“Ask them what’s actually happening and go with the truth instead of amplifying lies from foreign adversaries,” he said.

“There are safeguards in the system from tooth to tail to make sure that voter fraud, in the few instances it does occur, is identified, investigated and responsibly prosecuted,” he said.

Los Angeles Dodgers fans, you can exhale now.

The Japanese superstar and near-certain National League MVP, Shohei Ohtani, is good to go for World Series Game 3 after suffering a shoulder injury on Saturday night.

The news comes from ESPN’s Karl Ravech. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told the studio host and play-by-play man that Ohtani is “in a great spot and will be playing in game 3 [Monday].”

Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder during the seventh inning of Friday’s 4-2 win over the New York Yankees while sliding into second base on a failed steal attempt. He left the game in obvious pain, but apparently the injury was minor enough for him to return to action Monday.

Perhaps playing into the decision to play is the fact that Ohtani, 30, is purely an offensive player this year. The two-way superstar took this season off from pitching after having surgery on his throwing elbow in the offseason.

The Dodgers and Yankees traveled to New York after Game 2 on Saturday night, where Games 3, 4 and — if necessary — 5 will be played. Game 3 is set to start at 5:08 p.m. PST on Monday.
