Danika Warfield, 30, of Portland, Ore. received major injuries after being ejected from a 1998 Ford Explorer driven by Whit- ney N. Howard, 26, also of Portland. Howard was driving south on I-5, entering a construction zone, about 65-70 mph when she allowed the vehicle to drift across the fast lane and into the center divider, before it headed back to the road and over- turned, ejecting Warfield. According to the CHP Website, one person was pinned under the vehicle, which came to rest on the right hand shoulder just south of Gyle Road. Howard and her remaining passengers, Donald Leroy, 73, of Carlsbad and Columbus Serrano, 50, of Portland, Ore., were taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for minor injuries. Howard, who was found in possession of a controlled substance, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influ- See SUV, page 9A Calif to change sex- Truck drops in unexpectedly at home’s back yard offender tracking SACRAMENTO (AP) — Buried under a tidal wave of electronic data, California parole agents next week will significant- ly change how they moni- tor and respond to alarms from tracking devices that are affixed to released sex offenders, The Associated Press has learned. An internal California Department of Corrections report obtained by The AP found that a typical parole agent spent 44 percent of her workweek reviewing the computer-tracked movements of parolees, and just 12 percent in the field. They’ll get some relief Wednesday, when the companies that provide the satellite-linked ankle bracelets will begin screen- ing the tens of thousands of electronic alarms that flood in each month. The compa- nies will forward the most serious alerts to parole agents while weeding out those that signal more mundane problems such a low battery or lost cell phone signal. Corrections officials fear parole agents’ lack of personal contact can embolden released sex offenders to harass their previous victims or com- mit new crimes. They are seeking to minimize the sort of information fatigue that inadvertently helped paroled rapist Phillip Gar- rido keep a kidnapped woman captive for 18 years. ‘‘The whole purpose of trying this out is to enable the parole agents to focus more on direct supervi- sion,’’ Corrections Depart- ment spokeswoman Terry Thornton said. The companies that pro- vide the GPS equipment also will screen the alerts in selected areas and attempt to contact parolees if, for instance, their bracelets have lost contact or the battery has run low. Parole agents will be con- tacted if the parolee cannot be reached or if an alert signals a danger, such as a parolee getting too close to a victim’s home.

The trailer portion of the tanker truck tumbled over onto a brick fence at the edge of Rio Vista Mobile Estates. Barbara Benson, manager of the mobile home park, said the project is back on schedule after the Oakland-based oil company hired a special tow service to lift the tank off the bricks.
