The Kern County Coroner’s Office has identified James T. Kelly, 69, of Lake Isabella, as the person struck by a pickup truck Friday evening about 6:30 p.m., when, according to witnesses, he attempted to cross Lake Isabella Blvd. in his motorized wheelchair.
The incident occurred in the 6100 block of Lake Isabella Blvd., in Lake Isabella, near West America Bank to the east and Shady Lane Saloon to the west. The stretch of roadway is not particularly well lit.

On November 1, 2009, the city of San Francisco in California will implement a new policy that prevents city police officers from automatically impounding cars driven by unlicensed drivers. Unlicensed drivers will now be given 20 minutes to find someone with a valid license to drive their car. Only if an unlicensed driver is caught again within six months, is there an automatic 30-day impound, which can cost around $2,500.00.
