One Seriously Injured After Motorhome Slams Into Stopped Semi on Interstate 80

Joseph and Isabel Vesely of Anchorage asked the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission on Monday, Sept. 14, to vacate Keyros Avenue, a 60-foot-wide platted right-of-way between two properties they own near Cohoe Beach Road. The owners intend to combine Tracts B2 and B3 into a unified campground and add campsites. In their application, the Veselys argued that eliminating Keyros Avenue would not cut off public access, pointing to an existing trail system and saying ATV, pedestrian, and equestrian traffic could continue reaching the state land by a route that avoids campground operations. Borough planning staff, however, determined that the alternative described in the application did not itself meet requirements for equal or superior access because replacement access must be established on land controlled by the applicants. Staff instead recommended a new 60-foot right-of-way on the plat.

Dozens of illegally parked motorhomes, buses, and camper vans occupy Washington Blvd in Venice, Los Angeles, daily, with limited city enforcement. According to the article, some vehicles remain essentially continuously on the street, moving only for street sweeping, while enforcement is random and inconsistent. Los Angeles has laws restricting parking of vehicles over 22 feet long or 84 inches high between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. where signs are posted, plus a 72-hour rule, but they are not consistently applied. The issue has persisted for nearly a decade, with City Council files dating back to 2005, and local businesses and residents are calling for consistent enforcement.

A 20-foot camper trailer in Central City was destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Centralia Fire Protection District firefighters responded to 137 North Morrison after Central City police officer Brody Meigs found the camper burning behind the residence. The fire is believed to have started from a nearby brush pile fire that had spread and went unnoticed. The owner, Perry Hixenbaugh, planned to scrap the camper, although he said it had new tires he wanted to save. No one was injured.

There is no official industry standard for four-season RVs, but they can be purchased or retrofitted. Cold-weather capability requires heavy-duty insulation, HVAC and plumbing protection, and double-pane windows. In 2025, 8.1 million U.S. households owned an RV, with 16.9 million more interested in buying within five years; 28 million Americans planned holiday-season RV trips in 2025. Median annual use is 30 days, so a standard three-season RV suffices for most.
