The Region - News from July 27, 1987

The recent spate of shootings on Los Angeles-area highways has prompted plans by the Guardian Angels to patrol freeways and distribute “defensive driving” literature to motorists. Sandra Hess, spokeswoman for the voluntary security patrol, said that Angels will patrol selected freeways and will try to link up with car clubs and Citizens Band radio clubs. Hess said that members would also begin handing out pamphlets today on the Hollywood Boulevard on-ramp to the southbound Hollywood Freeway. The literature urges drivers to take down license numbers and personal descriptions when motorists behave violently.
