Inland Valley

There were 48 people on the bus, including the driver, authorities said. After the crash, 44 people were sent to Kingman Regional Medical Center, including two flown by medical helicopter, spokeswoman Teri Williams said. All the others were treated for minor injuries, she said.

Lucretia Garland, 31, of San Jacinto, died about two hours after the head-on collision outside of Moreno Valley. Her 3 children survived.

The defendant is accused of chasing down and ramming a group of teens who fled after ringing his doorbell, causing their vehicle to slam into a tree.

The CHP credits the proper installation and use of child safety seats for limiting the injuries to the children.

The driver and a passenger leapt out of a stolen truck, which travelled through a barbed wire fence, onto the 215 Freeway and into the path of a van driven by a 55-year-old Lake Elsinore woman, police said.

It happened Sunday in the area of Tin Mine Road and La Sierra Avenue.

The victim was killed about 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Goetz and Mapes roads.

The front half of the bus dropped 50 feet to the roadway below.

The discussion at a Feb. 9 NTSB meeting will come more than a year after a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter crashed into the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains in Calabasas.
