HARVEY, La. Two good Samaritans trying to help a stranded motorist on the Westbank Expressway Saturday night were struck and killed by a passing car in Marrero, police say.
Around 9:40 p.m., a car became disabled on the expressway near the intersection of MacArthur Avenue for some reason, according to Louisiana State Police. The intersection lies near the border of Harvey and Marrero, south of New Orleans.
Years in the making, a San Mateo County Public Works project to overhaul a busy half-mile of Middlefield Road through North Fair Oaks is out to bid now. Construction is set to start in the spring.

Four years’ worth of work to update Richmond’s 20-year master plan could come to fruition with a City Council vote tonight.
The Richmond 300 plan, meant to guide growth through the city’s tricentennial in 2037, is slated to formally be considered for adoption at the council’s regular meeting, which starts at 6 p.m.
The nearly 250-page document, which pulls from and consolidates previously approved plans while adding new recommendations that could influence future growth decisions, has been steadily making its way to the council since it was released in draft form earlier this year. The Planning Commission endorsed it, and presentations have been made to council members in recent committee and regular meetings.
