Motel Worker Dies After Being Pinned By Car
SAN DIEGO — El Cajon police Friday were investigating a fatal traffic accident in which a 75-year-old female motorist apparently pressed on her gas pedal by mistake and plowed into a motel maid.
The maid, a 60-year-old woman, was killed at Villa Embasadora Inn at 1556 E. Main St. about 12:45 p.m. Thursday, according to El Cajon city spokeswoman Monica Zech.
The motorist told investigators she was pulling into a parking space in front of the motel when she hit her gas pedal instead of the brake and sped forward, pinning the maid against a wall, Zech said.
The maid, whose name was withheld pending family notification, died at the scene.
The motorist was not injured in the crash but she was transported by paramedics to a local hospital after she learned of the maid’s death and became distraught, Zech
If news accounts of this incident are accurate, the driver is likely responsible for the incident. While this devastating Villa Embasadora accident remains under investigation, the family of the woman who died would be well-advised to speak with an understanding and knowledgeable wrongful death attorney. An attorney who has successfully handled pedal misapplication accidents can advise the victim’s family of their legal rights to hold the driver accountable and best course of action should they wish to pursue a wrongful death claim.
