Both drivers in the crash died as a northbound charter bus col - lided with a FedEx big rig trav- eling south that crossed the me- dian. Both vehicles caught on fire. Five students and three adult chaperones on the bus also died, according to Lacey Heitman, pub - lic information officer for the Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol. The crash occurred about 5:40 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 5 north of Highway 32, when the big collided with a tour bus taking high school students to Arcata. The bus was carrying students from several Los Angeles-area high schools to visit Humboldt State for its Spring Preview for prospective students Friday and Saturday. Authorities said 31 people were transported to seven hospitals, including Chico, Red Bluff and Oroville. There were 48 in the tour bus. Northbound I-5 was closed until after 12:30 p.m. Friday. The southbound lanes had reopened by 6:30 a.m. Four victims have been identi - fied. One was 26-year-old Arthur Arzola of Rancho Cucamonga, who died at UC Davis Medi- cal Center in Sacramento af- ter suffering burns over 95 per- cent of his body. He was a coun- selor and recruiter for Humboldt State University who was based in Southern California. The L.A. Daily News reported El Monte High School officials named senior Adrian Castro as one of those killed. Castro played on El Monte's football team and was hoping to attend Humboldt State, friends said. Two adult chaperones — Mi - chael Myvett, 29, and his fiancee Mattison Haywood — also died.

By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter Red Bluff » With an early mar- ijuana growing season expected the Tehama County Board of Su- pervisors is scheduled Tuesday to discuss adding several new regu- lations to the county's cultivation ordinance through an emergency procedure. The changes include an outright ban on cultivation on vacant lots, a required annual registration re - newal, a department transfer of registration oversight and a poten- tial increase in the registration fee. The registration fee would be discussed at an April 29 public hearing, if set by the board. The coming growing season will be the first full season under the county's more stringent ordinance that was revised in July 2013. The county originally adopted its Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance in 2010. Medicinal marijuana proponents legally challenged the ordinance, but the 3rd District Court of Ap - peals affirmed it in February 2013. Emboldened by that decision the board added more bite to the ordi- nance last summer adding mon- etary and criminal penalties for those found out of compliance. The amended ordinance also de- creased the total number of plants allowed at a grow site to 12, regard- less of maturity. Those changes were brought about by the board's Marijuana Cultivation Review Ad Hoc Com - mittee. That committee, which consists of Supervisors Steve Chamblin and Bob Williams, has continued to meet and is proposing the additional changes to the ordinance to address enforcement issues that have arisen.
