At least 15 people were killed on Tuesday in a collision between an SUV and a tractor trailer truck in Southern California, about 10 miles (16.1 km) north of the Mexican border, hospital officials said.
A significant fire erupted at a deserted restaurant located at the terminus of the Oceanside Pier in North County San Diego on Thursday afternoon, as confirmed by the Oceanside Fire Department. The pier, an iconic structure stretching nearly 2,000 feet, has stood since its construction in 1888, serving as a central attraction in the coastal community of Southern California, just a stone's throw from Camp Pendleton. In a social media post on Thursday, the Oceanside Fire Department urged citizens to avoid the area surrounding the pier, emphasising their active engagement in combating the blaze.
