Road worker hit by stolen car on I-80 in Vacaville to be released from hospital
VACAVILLE — The road worker hit by a stolen car during a police chase on Interstate 80 in Vacaville last week is set to be released from the hospital Tuesday.
His family shared graphic pictures Monday showing the severe injuries Christian Ibarra was left with when he was struck in a construction zone last Tuesday.
