Yes, a very sad day. The deceased victim has been identified as Edgar Chavez, 43 years of age, out of Riverside. He was working when struck by the vehicle this morning at Big Bear Blvd and Greenway.
Sadly we passed this fairly soon after it happened. It was in the area where they've been working. We wondered if it was a CalTrans worker that had been hit. Condolencrs to family and friends.

Good grief! These frequent threats to cut off our power are a bit annoying. I guess I was right to gas up the portable generator and charge up all of the emergency back up devices today.
