A man, 69-year old man, charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the crash that killed a 3-year old girl, in 2008, pleaded no contest in Pomona Superior Court. The little girl was walking with her 5-year old sister and father near a school in Diamond Bar when the incident occurred. The man’s Pathfinder went over the curb and struck the little girl; she died 24 hours later.
A sergeant from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said the man was dropping off his children at the school when he lost control of his SUV.
The judge sentenced the man to 3 years of probation and 400 hours of community service at a local hospital. He is also ordered to pay an unknown amount of restitution to the family of this little girl.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of this little girl.

How awful for that man who was seriously injured by not one, but two cars while crossing Highway 18 recently – according to the San Bernardino Sun. One of the vehicles was driven by a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy. Both drivers stopped to help the injured pedestrian. He was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for major injuries.
The accident is under investigation. The San Bernardino Sheriff’s department is asking anyone who witnessed this accident to call them at 760-240-7400. No one knows why the individual stepped in front of the vehicles and it is believed that he may not have been in a crosswalk.
Pedestrians are required to cross the street legally and walk in designated areas, such as a crosswalk. Motorists are required to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians who use a crosswalk. I urge the family of this man to find out where he crossed. I also hope the man did not suffer any catastrophic injuries and has a speedy recovery.
