PARADISE — A female driver was killed and two other drivers were seriously injured when their vehicles collided about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on Clark Road north of the Paradise Airport. |
Clark was closed in both directions following the crash and officials didn’t expect it to reopen until about 8:30 p.m. |
A woman driving a late-model Dodge Neon was pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel at the scene. |
Another female, driving a Ford Focus, had to be extricated from her vehicle and was transported to Enloe Medical Center by FlightCare helicopter. |
The driver of the third vehicle, an older Jeep Cherokee, was transported to Enloe by ambulance. |
Little information about what caused the crash was available at press time. Crime scene investigators from the Paradise Police Department said one of the best witnesses to the crash was the woman flown to Enloe, and investigators were hoping to talk with her Tuesday night. |
Police said it appeared that one of the vehicles may have tried to pass over a double yellow line. |
The Cherokee appeared to hit one or both of the smaller cars head-on, then rolled over, landing on its wheels. |
The Focus and Neon sustained heavy damage to their windshield and roof areas. |
The Neon was knocked to the south shoulder of Clark. The other two vehicles remained in the roadway, facing east. |
The cause of death to the female driving the Neon wasn’t immediately determined. |
None of the drivers had passengers with them. |
The names of the drivers, and conditions of the two that appeared to survive the crash, weren’t available by press time. |
Residents along the north side of Clark Road expressed concern Tuesday night about line-of-sight issues in the stretch running east and west of the airport. They said pulling onto Clark from side roads is dangerous, and that many motorists pass illegally on the road, even though they can’t clearly see oncoming traffic. |
They said Caltrans is aware that the road doesn’t meet accepted standards. |
With a name like the "Transrotor Artus," this contraption sounds like a piece of heavy machinery that might be found in an assembly plant. And by the looks of this photo, it almost could be. |
But closer inspection of the top reveals the real purpose of this erstwhile bucket of bolts: a turntable. And not just any old record record player, but an "LP player/phonograph/grammophone" that goes for $150,000, according to Hiendfi, and weighs nearly a quarter-ton. Maybe it's priced by the pound. |

(CNN) -- Don't believe the hype. |
Billy Crudup plays Dr. Manhattan in "Watchmen," the film version of the popular graphic novel. |
"Visionary" director Zack Snyder, as the marketing would have it, has filmed Alan Moore's "unfilmable" graphic novel by treating the comic book panels as his storyboard and his Bible. |
Doesn't it bother anyone that this is about as far from the definition of "visionary" as it's possible to get? |
The visionary sees what others do not see. Snyder -- whose previous films were a remake ("Dawn of the Dead") and another scrupulously faithful comic book adaptation ("300") -- is more in the line of a fancy photocopier, duplicating other artists' imagery with a forger's intensity. |
A visionary transforms the world. Snyder slavishly transcribes what's set down 5 inches in front of his face. |
Alan Moore, who has refused to have his name on the movie (ditto its Moore-based predecessors, "V for Vendetta" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and who has declined all reimbursement to protest the entertainment industry's fundamental lack of respect for intellectual property, counts as a bona fide visiona... |
His 1986 comic book is a landmark in the history of the form, a masterpiece of pop cultural angst, filtering Cold War nihilism and disillusionment through the inspired pulp idiom of mundane masked crimefighters and one genuine, possibly radioactive, superhero. |
With its parallel stories and virtuoso zooming and panning visual tropes, Moore and illustrator Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen" always felt cinematic. You could sense Martin Scorsese and "Taxi Driver's" Travis Bickle in Moore's squalid New York and vigilante anti-hero Rorschach, but proposed movies by Terry Gilliam and Paul G... |
The solution proposed by Snyder and screenwriters David Hayter and Alex Tse is simply to ignore the problem and stick to the text. In fairness, this strategy has proved wildly popular in adaptations of the "Harry Potter" books, for instance, "Twilight" and "300." The fans seem to demand it -- just as there is now a com... |
"Watchmen" the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling). Clocking in at an exhausting 163 minutes even without some of the book's various subplots, the film forfeits momentum and suspense for a jerky succession of expos... |
On the few occasions where the filmmakers do exercise their imaginations -- in a credit montage relating the glory days of the crimefighters Weegee-style, and in a neat improvement on Moore's climax -- the results are actually ingenious and sharp. iReport.com: Fan underwhelmed by "Watchmen" |
Well, see it for yourself, and then compare with the infinitely more nuanced passage in the graphic novel. |
The considerable limitations of Swedish-Canadian actress Malin Akerman are cruelly exposed as Laurie, aka Silk Spectre II, and if Matthew Goode (playing Adrian Veidt) is the smartest man in the world, then we're really in trouble. |
Jackie Earle Haley and his "Little Children" co-star Patrick Wilson fare better as, respectively, the angry reactionary Rorschach and mildly conflicted Dan Dreiberg, while it's hard to take your eyes off Billy Crudup's naked blue avatar, Dr. Manhattan -- for various reasons. |
Snyder flunks that test. Yes it will hit the box office like a tidal wave, but ultimately the numb, enervating "Watchmen" is living on borrowed time. No smiley face here. |
"Watchmen" runs 162 minutes and is rated R. For Entertainment Weekly's take, click here. |
You can earn up to 120,000 points, broken down into two tiers - you get 80,000 points when you spend $2,000 in the first three months, and 40,000 more points when you spend a total of $5,000 in the first six months. |
The 120,000 points can be redeemed for everything from 12 nights in a Holiday Inn in Sao Paulo, Brazil (and that's without factoring in the fourth night free - see below), to two nights at the luxurious InterContinental hotels in Sydney, Australia or Los Angeles. |
This limited time sign-up bonus is only around until May 2 - after that, it will presumably go back to its previous offer of 80,000 points total after spending $2,000 in the first three months. The card has an $89 annual fee, but the sign-up bonus more than covers that cost - not to mention the card's other benefits. |
