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.

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.

Officers arrested two teenagers allegedly responsible for the August 2024 murder of Isaac Gonzalez, 18, of Coachella.

Fabian Diaz, 18, and a 17-year-old male, both from Coachella, were taken into custody on Oct. 25 after investigators connected them to the fatal shooting, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

On Aug. 28, officers responded to the 84900 block of Calle Rojo, Coachella, at 10:34 p.m. to find Gonzalez lying on the road, suffering from gunshot wounds. 

First responders declared him dead at the scene.

Homicide investigators identified Diaz and the 17-year-old responsible for Gonzalez’s murder. Due to the 17-year-old’s age, authorities said his name will not be disclosed.

Details are limited. It is not currently known if surveillance or witness testimony aided in this investigation, or whether the suspects were known to the victim.

The sheriff’s office said Diaz was booked into the John Benoit Detention Center for murder, robbery, and conspiracy. 

The 17-year-old was booked into juvenile hall for murder, robbery, and conspiracy.

As investigators continue to look into this case, officials ask anyone with information to contact Investigator D. Robertson or Investigator J. Newby at 951–955–2777.
