8/9/2014PETALUMA, Calif. — The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that a man was killed and three people injured, including two children, Friday night outside Petaluma when a large brick pizza oven towed by a catering van broke loose and careened into their car.
California Highway Patrol Officer Andrew Barclay says the silver Honda Accord, which contained two adults and two children, had been waiting to turn onto Lakeville Highway from Old Lakeville Road No. 3 about 7:30 p.m. when it was struck by the trailer carrying the pizza oven.
