I recently had the opportunity to dine at Maharaja Cuisine of India in Ventura, California, to prepare one of my Ventura Restaurant Reviews. While the review is in the works (and please follow me here, on Twitter and Facebook so you don't miss it), I thought I'd share this wonderful bit of foodporn captured while I was so hard at work sampling the food and hospitality.

The picture is of a delicious and refreshing Mango Lassi served by the staff at Maharaja Cuisine of India, complementary, after one of my meals. It was rather yummy and a nice surprise.

Car Accident 101 NB At Telephone 12-6-2012

There was a nasty multi vehicle car crash on the Northbound 101 Freeway in Ventura, California, between Victoria Avenue and Telephone Road at approximately 10 pm, 6 December 2012.

Forgive the fuzzy, blurry images, but the news photos were shot without the benefit of a tripod in a moving car.

From the looks of the devastation, a passenger van and at least one car collided with each other and possibly the guard rail close to the slow lane. A big rig truck was also pulled over farther down the freeway perhaps indicating either involvement or an effort to stop and help.

There were multiple fire trucks, CHP cars and ambulances on the scene. At least one victim was visible being removed from the back of the van on a gurney. 

Here is hoping there were no fatalities and all make a speedy recovery.
