Two items of interest from the Strawberry Fields in Oxnard.
First … the Ventura County Board of Supervisors yesterday rejected a proposal for for new oil drilling wells near Pacific Coast Highway at Pleasant Valley Road.
An oil company had plans to drill for natural gas not far away from a mobile home park … right next to the freeway that connects Malibu to US 101.
Oil is already drilled at the site … but a small oil company proposed adding for natural gas extraction wells.
One item of major concern would be a gas flare … a 24 seven fire that would burn impure gas in the atmosphere.
The Ventura County Star calls this a big win for environmentalists and south Oxnard activists who are opposed to drilling, pesticides and industrial uses near residents.
And in a Ventura court room yesterday … a truck driver was sentnced to 30 days in jail for causing a truck versus train crash on Rive Avenie.
A Metrolink train engineer was killed in the 2015 crash … on the road linking Pacific Coast Highway to the 101 freeway.
Evidence shows that the truck driver from Arizona have been driving for more than 24 hours.
At the railroad crossing … he turned onto the tracks by mistake and got the truck stuck.
The train plowed into the stuck truck.
This railroad crossing is familiar to Malibu residents heading to the Costco or other stores in Oxnard.
Ventura County plans to build an overpass there.
