Media, police change name of hit-and-run/chase suspect
In previous articles he was referred to as Hector Vidal, but now he is Kelly Keeler.
Update: 10/1/09 – I called the LAPD Media Relations office and they insist that Kelly Keeler is correct and that Hector Vidal was incorrectly reported initially.

Woodland Hills Whole Foods Wednesday Hot Bar/Salad Bar Special thru 11/11
Whole Foods at Canoga Ave & Ventura Blvd
As heard in store and on their twitter account – “Every Wednesday from 9/23-11/11 our salad bar and hot bar are only $5.99. Yes, $5.99″
This applies to the Woodland Hills Whole Foods located at the corner of Ventura Blvd and Canoga Ave. I have a feeling their business has been hurting since Trade Joe’s and Henry’s moved into the area. More on those in a nother post!

More details about victim and car chase incident on Ventura Blvd
The Daily New additionally reports, with Fox11 as their source, “The pedestrian was a man in his 60s, whose identity was withheld while authorities tried to notify his family.”
Also, “About two miles west on Ventura Boulevard, the Cadillac rear-ended an SUV with four people inside, then came to a stop against a chain-link fence next to the 101 freeway. He refused to get out of the Cadillac for about two hours, until a SWAT team arrived and used a stun gun to bring him into custody.”

Unidentified pedestrian killed in front of Jerry’s Deli during police chase
Ventura Blvd at Don Pio Dr.
Well, it seems according to this article in the Daily News that a pedestrian was hit and killed by a guy who refused to stop for the CHP on Saturday night. At this time there’s not much more in the way of detail, but the article is worth a read. I often get take-out from Jerry’s Deli (their Cobb Salad is delightful) so thankfully I wasn’t in the wrong place at the wrong time! I’ll post more details on the victim or driver if they become available.
Update: Victim Identified as Dean Greenwalt of Woodland Hills
