Monrovia School Board member Clare Chesley and her children, Emory and Fiona, were in an automobile accident last Saturday on the 605 Freeway. The accident totaled the car, belonging to a friend, but nobody was hurt.
Clare said they were on their way to a triathlon, "Race on the Base" in Los Alamitos (a 5k run, 12-mile bike ride and 200-meter swim) when the accident occurred, but with the help of another friend, who picked them up, they arrived 20 minutes before the race.
Clare said Fiona came in first in her category with a time of 1:32:00, five minutes ahead of the second-place girl, and Emory came in in the middle of a "very competitive pack" with a race time of 1:26:52. And, she said, they had to borrow bikes (theirs were destroyed on the freeway) and Emory had to borrow running shoes as his were lost in the crash.
