A different kind of story in El Rio.

Unlike the previous post, the Oxnard Police sent a motorcade once again with officers, though this time with Santa Clause, gifts and a Christmas tree.  A few months earlier a mother and two of her young children, one who was only a couple month old, were struck by a tow truck driver in Oxnard and dragged a quarter mile until onlookers flagged the truck down.  The family was in critical condition but luckily survived the ordeal.  The Oxnard Police usually adopt one low income family each holiday season and bring gifts to them.  This year, the adopted family was the mother and her two children.
