The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag WARNING for parts of LA County, including northern Santa Monica, on Thurs 10/15 - Fri 10/16. Wind gusts could reach up to 30 mph, with risks of tree damage, power outages, and rapid spread of wildfires.

On Friday, October 9, at approximately 9:30 PM, a vehicle traveling west on Indiana Avenue in Venice struck a parked pickup truck, veered into my rental property, and destroyed the sliding driveway gate and adjoining street-facing fence. Both now require complete replacement.

The incident was captured on security video, but the vehicle's license plate is difficult to read due to glare or overexposure.

Victims hope someone recognizes the vehicle or has additional security-camera footage that might help identify the driver.

**The accident occurred on Indiana Avenue between 6th and 7th Avenues.** The vehicle continued west toward 6th Avenue after the collision.

If you recognize the vehicle, witnessed the accident, or have relevant footage, ploease report to police.

At the heart of the festival is a larger mission: to help bring life back to the Venice Recreation Center and Boardwalk and make this iconic part of Venice a vibrant, welcoming and family-friendly gathering place again. With the City investing in the area, including a new children's play space, we hope to contribute by bringing families, artists, musicians and the community back together — while preserving the creativity and character that make Venice unique.
