GATE CRASHER

[Updated Aug. 19] A too-tall delivery truck hit the massive overhead arch spanning the South Gate after getting into a resident's lane instead of the vistor's lane about 5 p.m. Friday. The impact of the semi knocked two support columns off their bases and cracked the bases of the remaining two columns. Security Chief Greg Remson said repairs will involve "a total rebuild" of the overhang and supports. Community Services District employees Floyd McLaughlin and Jason Dill worked with resident Mike Liguori of Liguori Construction to shore up the structure with material provided by the Rancho Murieta Association Maintenance Department. By 9 p.m., one resident lane was reopened, and by Saturday, below, this scene greeted motorists.
