Anyone know what is going on? I’ve been stuck on Cabrillo as a detour with hundreds of other cars for 30 minutes.

Does anyone have information about the accident in Montecito by south bound at San Ysidro? One of my daughters said it happened around 2 am but the highway was still shut at 9 am. Wonder if it still is.
So Matty, what does it say?
That is some speculation you’ve got there, 4:38pm.
4:38 p.m. “Maybe Montecito residents will ask for some help from the growing number of homeless . . .” Do you mean residents should ask the homeless for help? Instead of “ask for some help,” don’t you mean “ask for some help _concerning_ the growing number of homeless . . .”?
“Lay” takes an object. The pedestrian was lying on the road.
