A tragic crash near Santa Cruz’s Steamer Lane claimed the life of 19-year-old UC Santa Cruz psychology student Alli Renee Singh, who was trapped inside her submerged vehicle after it went off a cliff early Sunday morning. Her aunt described her as brilliant, beautiful, and deeply loved. The driver and another passenger survived with minor injuries. Authorities are investigating the cause, while erosion concerns around West Cliff Drive — set to be relocated next year — underscore the area’s growing danger. This marks the latest in a string of fatal crashes along the scenic but perilous coastal route.

The mayoral race is heating up as Karen Bass and Nithya Raman face off in their first runoff debate, with both candidates needing to win over undecided voters—especially those who backed third-place Spencer Pratt. Bass must prove her current policies will deliver results, while Raman pushes for a fresh start, attacking her record on homelessness and public safety. The debate, hosted by a local homeowners group, may skew toward regional concerns, but the stakes are citywide. With recent data showing a spike in homelessness and fires in key Latino neighborhoods like Boyle Heights, both campaigns are sharpening their messages: Bass touting progress, Raman demanding change.
