It Sounded Better on the Radio

As freeway shootings appear to be back in vogue (UPDATE: or maybe not), Jeff Lewis links KABC account of the latest shooting. Note, however, how they botched the account of this earlier one:

Ricky Smith, 32, of San Bernardino was shot to death at the 62-15-91 interchange in Riverside County on April 22.

There is no Highway 62, nor is there any third highway where I-15 and CA 91 intersect. There is, however, a three way interchange between CA 60, I-215 and CA 91, which is almost certainly where the murder occurred. It makes sense in a way: “sixty /two fifteen / ninety-one” does sound a lot like “sixty-two / fifteen / ninety-one.”
