DETALLES:

En junio 14, 2017, en aproximadamente 8:13 a.m., El personal de la policía y los bomberos de Oxnard respondió a una llamada en el 2000 cuadra de Rose Avenue de un hombre atrapado dentro de la rampa de un camión de basura. A City of Oxnard refuse truck was making a routine refuse pick up when the driver heard screams for help and halted the truck. Further investigation revealed that a man had fallen asleep in the refuse bin which was then emptied into the truck. Fire personnel were able to extract the man from the truck and he was transported to St. John’s Regional Medical Center where he was treated for minor injuries.

Although some people may look at refuse bins as providing options for more than just the disposal of trash, please note that this practice can lead to serious injury and even death. The City of Oxnard makes safety a priority when handling community waste and requests that you please stay out of refuse dumpsters for your safety as well as the safety of our drivers and helpers. This will help us avoid any unintended mishaps.

Please note that while the City of Oxnard does not provide any direct homeless services or emergency housing, the City does provide funding to several agencies and non-profit organizations that do provide such services. Below is a list of service agencies and places that provide assistance:
