Torrance Police are investigating a tragic accident that killed a bus passenger exiting a bus in Torrance on Thursday afternoon. A man in his 40's slipped and fell November 19th after exiting the bus and stepping onto the sidewalk, and fell backwards under its wheels. The bus then ran over the man, who died at the scene of the accident. The fatal accident occurred at 4:30 p.m. at Torrance and Crenshaw Boulevard.
Determining who is responsible for a bus vs. pedestrian accident can be complex, and no determination has been made as to who was at fault for this fatal accident. More than one party may ultimately be responsible, including the transit company, the bus driver, maintenance companies, and city and county governments. An attorney can help you determine which parties are responsible for your injuries by hiring an independent investigator.
