A hit-and-run driver remains outstanding after they collided with an overturned vehicle on the 101 Freeway and fled on foot. 

Preliminary information indicates that police had responded to the eastbound span of the 101 near Balboa Boulevard in Encino just before 3 a.m. Saturday on reports of an overturned red sedan blocking traffic. 

As first responders arrived on scene, another vehicle – said to be a gray Nissan – barreled into the overturned sedan.   

Footage obtained by KTLA shows the Nissan careening across the freeway before smashing into the right shoulder wall.  That driver was taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. 

The driver of the red sedan fled after the collision; they were seen on video making their way towards the shoulder on foot.

As of 6 a.m. Saturday, they had not been apprehended. 

Deputies arrested Guy Schneider, 63, of Yucaipa in an undercover child predator operation where he allegedly arranged to meet with a 13-year-old girl for sexual acts.

The 13-year-old girl was in fact an alias created by Perris Sheriff’s Station Special Enforcement Team deputies for this investigation. They received a response from Schneider ultimately expressing his desire to meet and perform sex acts, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies arranged to meet Schneider on Friday and took him into custody without incident. During his arrest, deputies found he also possessed two firearms.

Schneider was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center and is being held on a $1,000,000 bail.

The investigation team asks anyone with information about this case to contact Deputy Hartert at the Perris Sheriff’s Station: 951-210-1000.

Despite pressure from neighbors and public officials, the Chiquita Canyon Landfill in Castaic continues to plague the surrounding area with terrible odors, prompting regulators to call for more to be done.

A three-day South Coast Air Quality Management District hearing earlier this month was full of criticism of the landfill operators’ inability to limit the smells reaching neighbors, noting that there has so far been “no meaningful improvement,” as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

In fact, efforts to combat a fire beneath the surface of the landfill — the second-largest in L.A. County — require “emergency measures that are exacerbating odors, such as excavating and relocating buried trash to prevent landslides,” the Times reports.

“Many of these actions actually have the adverse side effect of increasing odors in the immediate and short term even though they are considered necessary to curb the emergency situations occurring at the landfill,” said Kathryn Roberts, attorney for the South Coast AQMD.

In a news release, the AQMD board directed landfill operators to make changes, including meeting “more than two dozen conditions that will improve leachate collection, add preventative maintenance and inspections, mitigate odors associated with excavation activities, and require additional air monitoring.”

The issue is expected to be discussed again during another hearing in November.

The AQMD regulators join a chorus of critics targeting the landfill and its odors.

The landfill’s neighbors have filed a lawsuit alleging toxic fumes are harming them, and the Environmental Protection Agency and local elected officials have also raised concerns.
