Two separate accidents with government-related buses and trucks occurred within a week in So Cal. In Silver Lake, a truck slammed into a Metro bus. Four bus passengers were hospitalized with injuries. In LA, a Caltrans truck and a car had an accident on the 210 (Foothill) Freeway. The five car occupants were all hurt and hospitalized.
In Washington State, a woman who was hit by a Metro van has received $7 million in a settlement with the local county following her lawsuit. The victim was riding her Vespa scooter to work when the public transit van allegedly ran a stop sign and failed to yield her right of way. The impact of the crash sent the woman flying 40 feet. She was in a coma for days after the crash. Her injuries included a severely broken leg with a compound fracture, as well as extensive internal injuries. In addition to the dangerous actions of the county van driver, attorneys also claimed that the intersection where the accident occurred was unsafe.
