EASTVALE >> A 27-year-old Fontana woman and a 3-year-old girl died in a crash near the 15 Freeway on Thanksgiving night, officials said.

Firefighters responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash at 10:39 p.m. near southbound 15 in Eastvale. One of the vehicles had rolled over during the incident, according to a Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department news release.

Brittney Gambale, 27, of Fontana, died at the scene of the crash in the southbound lanes north of Bellegrave Avenue, according to the Riverside County Coroner’s Office.

Sarenana Mackenzee, 3, also of Fontana, was transported to Corona Regional Medical Center after the crash and was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the crash.

The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident.

LOS ANGELES — Motorists heading out to join friends and family or have other sorts of fun during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend need to remember to drive sober and safely — or there could be consequences, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The agency will initiate its annual Thanksgiving “maximum enforcement period” today at 6 p.m., when all available officers deploy to catch DUI offenders, speeders and other traffic violators.

The effort will continue until 11:59 p.m. Sunday night.

During last year’s Thanksgiving maximum enforcement campaign, the CHP arrested nearly 1,000 people statewide for suspected DUI, about 16 percent fewer than the year before.

A total of 45 people died in collisions on roads and highways under the CHP’s jurisdiction during the 2014 Thanksgiving weekend. That represented a 36 percent jump from the prior year, said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.

“Having a safe Thanksgiving drive this year — and being here to enjoy next Thanksgiving — can be as simple as buckling up,” Farrow said. “Nearly half the people who died in the CHP’s jurisdiction over Thanksgiving last year were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision.”

The maximum enforcement period coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “Buckle Up America — Every Trip, Every Time,” campaign, emphasizing seat belt safety.

“Buckling up, avoiding distracted driving, traveling at a safe speed, designating a sober driver — all are especially important during the holidays,” Farrow said.

LOS ANGELES — Actor John Stamos pleaded no contest today to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of a drug stemming from his arrest in Beverly Hills.

Stamos, 52, was ordered to complete two hours of drug and alcohol addiction-related counseling, attend 52 Alcoholics Anonymous sessions and to spend three years on probation, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Stamos did not appear in court. The plea was entered by an attorney on his behalf.

Stamos was arrested June 12 in Beverly Hills after police stopped his vehicle near Canon Drive and Brighton Way in response to reports from witnesses that he was behaving strangely and driving erratically, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

The type of drug was not revealed by authorities.

Stamos — who appeared on the TV series “General Hospital” and “Full House” — stars in the TV show “Grandfathered.”

The mother and widow of a newlywed who was killed in a collision with a fire truck in Agoura Hills while driving to a wedding rehearsal dinner for his brother are suing Los Angeles County and the truck’s driver.

Eric Stein, 36, and his wife Ksenia Rozen, both of San Clemente, were en route to the event when their car was hit by the truck while Stein was making a left turn along Mulholland Highway about 5 p.m. on July 31, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Stein was scheduled to be best man at his brother’s wedding.

The lawsuit filed Friday on behalf of Rozen and Stein’s mother, Karen Kirn, in Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit names as defendants Los Angeles County and Michael Aplanalp, who was driving the fire truck.

A spokesman for the county did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the suit, which alleges wrongful death and negligence and seeks unspecified damages.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department issued a statement after the accident that said the department was “deeply saddened by the tragic death of Eric Stein. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.”

The suit alleges the truck was being driven too fast and that Aplanalp was “unsafely passing on the left on a two-lane highway” before colliding with the couple’s car.

Rozen witnessed the death of her husband and continues to suffer from emotional distress, according to the complaint.

Stein and Rozen married six months before the accident after dating for eight years, according to previous news accounts.

The fire truck was carrying 13 female inmates from Fire Camp 13 in Malibu, authorities said at the time.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Hundreds of homeless people in downtown San Bernardino had something to be thankful for on Sunday: Darla Roberts and her colleagues at Omnitrans.

Between 2 and 3 p.m., Roberts and her friends from work handed out dozens of bagged lunches, stuffed with chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, coffee cake, bread and bottled water, to the homeless at Seccombe Lake Park, Meadowbrook Park, and near the U-Haul at Rialto Avenue and Second Street.

Every year on her birthday for the last four years, Roberts, a 44-year-old Riverside resident and Los Angeles transplant, has handed out bagged lunches to hundreds of homeless people on Los Angeles’ Skid Row. When Roberts began working at Omnitrans in 2013, her colleagues heard about her annual tradition and wanted to get involved. On Roberts’ birthday on Aug. 6, she and her coworkers fed nearly 400 people on Skid Row, Roberts said.

Now, Roberts and her coworkers decided to bring their philanthropy to San Bernardino, just in time for the holidays.

“Since we work in San Bernardino, we decided to switch it up and come to San Bernardino,” Roberts said. She said providing as many of San Bernardino’s homeless with bagged lunches may also become an annual tradition as well.

At Seccombe Lake Park, Sytina Sharawn Garrett moved about a blue dome tent, one among a cluster at a lakeside tent encampment. She was one of about 20 homeless people at the park who received a meal. She said she has been encamped at the park with her 55-year-old mother, Michaele Floress Wilson, for the last week. Prior to that, she was living in a garage at a private residence on Oakhurst Drive.

When asked what she thought about the generosity of Roberts and her colleagues, Garrett, 36, said she would rather have a home, but was appreciative nonetheless for being able to fill her belly with some good grub.

“It’s a blessing to be able to feed people to keep them carrying on, especially if they have no place to go,” she said.

POMONA >> Two officers were injured when they were struck by a suspected drunken motorist while conducting a routine traffic stop in Pomona, a police sergeant said today.

The officers were rushed to an area hospital for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately known, said Sgt. William Tucker of the Pomona Police Department.

At 11:27 p.m. Saturday, the officers were conducting a traffic enforcement stop on a possible drunken driver on Mission Boulevard at Elm Street. Their marked patrol car was struck by a vehicle going east on Mission Boulevard, Tucker said.

The driver of that vehicle was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and booked into the Pomona City Jail.

The department’s Traffic Services Bureau asked anyone who saw the crash to call them at (909) 620-2085.

RIALTO >> Six people were arrested during a DUI checkpoint Friday night in Rialto, officials said.

Rialto Police organized a DUI/Driver License checkpoint at a Home Depot, screening eastbound traffic on Foothill Boulevard, west of Cedar Avenue. Of the 509 vehicles that entered the checkpoint , 308 drivers were screened further for potentially driving under the influence or being unlicensed.

Police arrested three men for DUI, one man for possession of a stolen vehicle and two suspects with outstanding warrants, said Rialto Corp. Cameron Nelson.

Funding for DUI checkpoints is provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver,” according to a news release.

LA VERNE >> A pilot escaped serious injury after a small airplane crashed at Brackett Field Airport and burst into flames, officials said.

The crash took place at 1:44 p.m. as the pilot was attempting to land at the small airfield at 1615 McKinley Ave., La Verne Fire Department Administrative Clerk Lauren Burtz said.

The landing came short, officials said.

“The aircraft … struck a perimeter fence upon landing,” Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said.

Kenitzer later described the craft as a single-engine Cessna 210. The identifying “tail number” was not available. Cessna 210 airplanes generally seat six.

Burtz said the airplane ended up upside-down on top of the flattened fence along Fairplex Drive and quickly became engulfed in flames.

The pilot managed to escape the wreckage and La Verne firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, officials said.

Kenitzer said initial reports indicated two people were on board, however Burtz said firefighters treated only one patient, the pilot.

Officials took the pilot to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center by helicopter for treatment, Burtz said. An update on the pilot’s condition was not available.

Both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
