Miraculously, Delilah was thrown clear of the accident, and with the help of a bicycle seat and helmet, came through unscathed.  

Christine was not as fortunate; after a true fight for her life, she succumbed to her injuries on August 8, 2022  

Christine’s husband Bob received the phone call every first responder fears. While on duty as a firefighter serving the citizens of Orange County, his beloved family had suffered a tragic accident at home.

Christine’s husband, Bob Embree, is petitioning the City of Carlsbad to make the following changes in hopes of preventing future injuries or death of others.  

    ⁃    Rezone Tamarack to residential from  El Camino Real to Adams Street and lower the speed limits to 25 mph 

    ⁃    Install Asphalt speed bumps from Skyline to Highland

We the undersigned support the requests made above and urge the Carlsbad City Council to pass a motion to make these changes, honor the life of Christine Hawk Embree and protect the residents and visitors of Carlsbad from future critical and deadly accidents.
