Early morning crash sends one to hospital

An Aliso Viejo teenager was taken to Mission Hospital after her vehicle was broadsided by another vehicle at 7:07 a.m. at Coast Highway and 10th Avenue, Kravetz said.

A 2009 Silver Chevy Suburban was making a left turn from westbound 10th Street to southbound Coast Highway, and hit a 1998 Acura RSX going northbound.

The Acura broadsided the suburban.

The 18-year-old driver of the Acura was taken to the hospital.

The driver of the other vehicle, who police allege caused the collision, is a 51-year-old resident of Parker, Colo.

She was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Man accused of making threats, battery

Ronnie Richard Spain, 55, was arrested for terrorist threats and battery at 10:12 a.m. Saturday at Main Beach, Kravetz said.

Spain, who police say is homeless, allegedly waved a steak knife at another homeless man and threatened to kill him, Kravetz said. Spain is also accused of using anti-gay slurs and stating he was going to harm the man because of that.

Spain also allegedly kicked the victim during the altercation at Heisler Park.

Alcohol training draws bigger crowd than planned

A recent training session for alcoholic beverage servers in Laguna Beach offered through the police department drew three to four times the number of participants as expected, City Manager Ken Frank stated in his April 10 Friday Update to city staff.

“Representatives from the California Alcohol Beverage Control and the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Licensing joined staff from our Police Department to provide this training opportunity that addressed issues related to regulating security personnel working in licensed establishments as well as employees who serve alcohol,” Frank wrote.

“Although initially it was anticipated that attendance would be 30 to 40 participants, the business community made an overwhelming response for this training resulting in more than 120 people attending this event.”
