This is from Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assistant Karin Reed:

On April 28th, 2012, the Huntington Beach Police Department participated in the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration's fourth National Take Back Initiative. The purpose of the event was to collect accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, and to safely dispose of those medications. The final number for our collection site was 692 pounds. That includes 16 boxes collected over the past six months from the lobby bin, and 9 new boxes from today.

Americans that participated in the DEA's third National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 29, 2011, turned in more than 377,086 pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,327 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and U.S. territories. When the results of the three prior Take-Back Days are combined, the DEA, and its state, local, and tribal law-enforcement and community partners have removed 995,185 pounds (498.5 tons) of medication from circulation in the past 13 months.

Here's a reminder from Huntington Beach Public Works Construction Manager Eric Charlonne:
Heil Avenue between Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard In Huntington Beach has been reduced to one lane in each direction due to construction of the roadway. If you have any questions e-mail echarlonne@surfcity-hb.org .

Ken Small Huntington Beach Police Chief answered my question, Which was:
The residents of my neighborhood that heard the impact late the previous Saturday Evening was a one car crash that veered off of Edward Street towards the bottom of the Hill, Hit a Tree and then knocked the fencing down on The Equestrian Trail.
