Yucaipa acquires land after $4.5 million loan defaults

Yucaipa acquired approximately 80 acres of vacant land off Oak Glen Road through foreclosure in October after a $4.5 million loan to Koy Builders Inc. went into default. It left questions about the original lending terms, the property’s value and the financial implications for taxpayers. Michael Kooyman, owner of Koy Builders, and the property, died by suicide. Records reviewed for this story do not establish a connection between his death and the loan. The city council approved the loan in December 2023, under a different city manager (Chris Mann) and council (Justin Beaver, Chris Venable, Jon Thorp, Matt Garner and Bobby Duncan), agreeing to lend Koy Builders $4.5 million at a fixed annual interest rate of 7%. The loan was secured by a deed of trust on the property, and the city also obtained an option to purchase it for $5.475 million. According to trustee’s sale records, the property was sold to the city for $5,087,014 at a public auction Oct. 8 at the San Bernardino County courthouse. The sale followed a notice of default signed June 1, 2026, which stated that $413,784 was owed as of May 1 and that the amount would increase until the account became current.

Two experienced skydivers opened their parachutes normally over California, then collided just 150 feet above the ground

Two experienced skydivers died after colliding in the air and falling to the ground. The incident occurred near Skydive Elsinore in Southern California just before noon. Both individuals were licensed jumpers who were in the area to participate in the California Women’s Upright Record team. As reported by the LADbible , the collision took place at an altitude of approximately 150 feet. According to Skydive Elsinore, the two jumpers were descending under open parachutes when they hit each other. The impact caused their parachutes to become entangled, which obviously created a dangerous situation so close to the landing zone. Josh Hall, who is the general manager and co-owner of Skydive Elsinore, noted that the jumpers were part of a group of 20 experienced women who jumped from a plane at about 12,500 feet. Witnesses say the freefall portion of the jump was totally normal and uneventful. Both skydivers also deployed their parachutes at the expected altitude. Everything seemed to be going according to plan until the final moments of their descent. There is reportedly no indication of any equipment malfunction The Riverside County Fire Department arrived quickly after the collision. They posted an update on X that read: “TRAUMATIC INJURIES
