Earthquake Rocks City in California
An Austin family travels to visit relatives when a tire blowout sends their car over a bridge. The wife and daughter die, the driver and two grandchildren are hospitalized, and relatives mourn the haste that led to the tragedy. A second incident nearby also claimed a life as five youths perished in a separate crash. The piece urges safer driving and calmer travel. It then shifts to broader notes on Defense Day and evolving transportation trends as buses encroach on rail business, including discussions of fare surcharges and passenger insurance. Santa Barbara seeks funds to rebuild after a major quake, as death toll rises and ruins dot the city.
