  1. They need to put a cross-walk there!

  2. Editor – do you allow comments that are bigoted?
    These two comments directed at LGBT2024 are clearly bigoted – renaming what LGBT stands for and other nasty things. Please delete them and any further bigoted remarks. Shame on KHTS for allowing them to post in the first place!

  3. Pedestrian? Another news outlet says it was a infant .

  4. You will never know who met their unfortunate demise from this source as they don’t follow up.

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
