The following article was published in the "Press-Enterprise" (Riverside California) on Wednesday, January 7, 1998:24

CHIRIACO SUMMIT A 68-year-old Placentia man was struck and killed by a passing big rig as he walked in the eastbound fast lane of Interstate 10 about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.  James Ronald Hinshaw was killed when a tractor-trailer hit him on the freeway just east of Box Canyon Road, about 50 miles east of Indio, said Riverside County Deputy Coroner Alendra Birdsall.  Authorities did not know why Hinshaw was walking along the roadway or if his vehicle had broken down.

Jim and Bette were full time RV'ers (he did not have a traditional residence - it was Bette's daughter who lived in Placentia).21  On Jan 6 1998, Jim was standing beside his truckbed and adjusting a tool container door when an 18-wheeler side swiped his 5th wheel trailer hitting Jim.  Contrary to the "Press-Enterprise" newspaper above, he was not walking along the roadway.21
