Edison worker dies in Industrial accident
On Thursday, April 25, 2013, about 7:45 AM, officers from the Menifee Police Department responded to the area of Murrieta Rd., north of Park City Ave, in the city of Menifee. Upon the arrival of officers, employees from Southern California Edison were attempting to treat a fellow employee who sustained significant injuries from a high voltage line. Cal Fire and AMR personnel arrived within minutes and were unable to resuscitate the victim. As a result, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
CAL OSHA and Southern California Edison are investigating the incident. A section of Murrieta Rd from Ridgemoor Ave. to Park City Ave. was closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Early in this investigation it was determined this incident was not related to a massive power outage that occurred in the city of Menifee on the prior day. All inquiries or investigative leads should be referred to CAL OSHA or Southern California Edison.
Beyond Workers’ Comp
Many injured workers assume they are only able to receive workers’ compensation benefits for injuries on the job site. A careful analysis of the accident by an attorney experienced in job site injury claims may reveal other sources of financial compensation. If an employee of another subcontractor was responsible for the faulty equipment that injured you, we may pursue an injury claim against his or her employer, for example. A general contractor who failed to maintain a safe workplace may also be liable.

Fatal accident on the 57 freeway
Orange County’s former chief executive officer ran into a disabled vehicle while driving on the 57 Freeway, a crash that killed two people, the California Highway Patrol reported.
According to a preliminary report, Thomas Mauk, 69, rear-ended a disabled vehicle on the 57 Freeway near Diamond Bar late Sunday.
Anubhai Patel, 67, and his wife, Shardaben Patel, 68, were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. The Anaheim couple died from their injuries.
Police said Mauk and his wife, Denise, both from Whittier, were southbound on the freeway when their 2008 Cadillac Escalade slammed into the back of the 2006 Toyota Prius north of Pathfinder Road.
The Prius had been reported as disabled in the No. 3 lane just minutes earlier, according to a CHP report.
Mauk and his wife suffered minor injuries and neither was arrested after the crash, which remains under investigation.
Mauk resigned from his Orange County post last summer amid heavy criticism on how county executives handled an internal investigation into a fellow executive’s alleged misconduct.

The term “wrongful death” is defined as the death of an individual as a result of the negligence, carelessness, intentional act of another individual, corporation, company or entity. Filing a proper wrongful death claim is extremely difficult and complex for families because they are not only dealing with their grief over the death of a beloved family member, but also complex issues of compensation as well. Wrongful death claims are usually sought after by relatives, siblings, or members of the decedent’s estate who have lost a considerable amount of money as well as loss of support and grief due to the wrongful death of the decedent.
In most states, if the death of a relative or spouse was caused by the wrongful act of another, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party or parties. In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to prove that you will experience severe future emotional and financial hardship because of the loss of the death of a relative, family member or spouse.

It was reported that the two vehicles had collided head on and that there were serious injuries to several parties.

The driver was later identified as Robert E. Miller, age 57 of Victorville. A male passenger from that same vehicle was suffering from injuries, not life threatening.
Three occupants from the second vehicle, a 1999 Toyota minivan were also seriously injured, one with life threatening head injuries. Rescue personnel extricated the victims from their vehicles and all were transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center by both air and ground transportation.
The Hesperia Station Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) responded to conduct the investigation. It was determined that for unknown reasons the driver of the Ford Explorer who was traveling east on Hwy 138 at an undetermined speed, crossed over into the westbound lanes and collided head on into the Toyota minivan as it traveled west on Hwy 138.
Hwy 138 was closed in both directions between Summit Valley Rd. and Hwy 173 until about 1930 hours while investigators processed the scene for evidence. At this time the exact cause of the collision and why the driver of the Ford Explorer crossed into the westbound lane is still under investigation by the Hesperia Station Traffic Division MAIT Investigators.

Bus Crashes near Yosemite: More than a Dozen Injured
As reported in the Los Angeles Times the charter tour bus that crashed Saturday evening outside Yosemite National Park, injuring more than a dozen people, was traveling at an unsafe speed when the driver lost control, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The bus was leaving Yosemite on California 41, or Wawona Road, about 6 p.m., when it veered off the roadway and angled up a dirt embankment, according to a CHP report. As the driver attempted to regain control of the vehicle, the bus crossed both lanes of traffic and struck a tree.
“If the tree wasn’t there to stop the bus, it would have continued down a ravine,” CHP Patrol Sgt. Edward Green told the Fresno Bee. The bus came to a stop with its two rear tires in the air.
Seventeen people were aboard the vehicle; 15 passengers and a tour guide sustained minor to moderate injuries in the crash, authorities said. The driver was uninjured.
The speed limit for the road is 55 mph, but several turns in the roadway require slowing, according to Scott Jobinger, a CHP spokesman. The accident occurred about a mile north of local road 630 and about 40 miles south of the park.
The bus was operated by Seven Happiness Tour and Charter Inc. in Burlingame, Calif., Jobinger said.
Adam Wang, a manager with Seven Happiness, said that the tour began Saturday morning in the Bay Area, and after a tour of the park, the bus was headed to Fresno for the night. It was to return to Burlingame on Sunday. Seven Happiness runs about two charters to Yosemite each week.
Intoxication was not a factor in the crash, the CHP said. A vehicle inspection will be performed on the bus to determine if there were any mechanical issue involved in the accident.

“The initial investigation revealed the victim, an employee of Coca Cola, was attempting to make repairs or adjustments to a machine used to load cases of beverages onto pallets,” Dunn said. “While the victim was inside the machine, it activated, and fatally injured the victim.”
An autopsy is scheduled for early next week. The Anaheim Police Department is investigating.

Right of Way
- Pedestrians always have the right of way. So, no matter where you encounter a pedestrian on the road, they always have the right of way. This includes crosswalks, round-a-bouts, at intersections not marked with signals and at street corners. Crosswalks are sometimes defined by white lines or flashing lights. Crosswalks are outlined in yellow near schools.
California Pedestrian Law
“Under California Vehicle Code Section 21950 (a) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(b) This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of using due care for his or her safety. No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.
(d) Subdivision (b) does not relieve a driver of a vehicle from the duty of exercising due care for the safety of any pedestrian within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.”

2 Dead, 40 Injured in Charter Bus Crash
Two people were killed and dozens rushed to hospitals after a charter bus bound for Oklahoma overturned on a Dallas-area turnpike Thursday morning.
Approximately 40 elderly people were trapped in the chartered bus, which was transporting the retired people to a gambling outing at the Choctaw casino in Oklahoma, according to USA Today.
“There was obviously a lot of pain,” a witness who helped pull victims from the wreckage told NBC DFW. “You had to start with whoever was on top, try to untangle them. People were just screaming.”
The bus belongs to the Cardinal Coach LInes of Mansfield, Texas.
The stretch of State Highway 161, also known as the President George Bush Turnpike, is located approximately 15 miles outside Dallas.
The driver is 65-year-old Loyd Rieve, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. He was investigated in a 1998 accident, but a grand jury declined to indict him on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.
The bus driver was injured in the Thursday accident, which occurred on the President George Bush Turnpike in Irving. It involved only one vehicle.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Lonny Haschel told news agencies that the bus went off the right side of the road, hit a barrier, swerved left across lanes of traffic and struck a concrete median in a grassy area.
“It rode up on top of that concrete barrier, and then rolled on its right hand side, where it came to rest,” Haschel said.
Investigators are looking at several factors, including the vehicle and physical evidence on the road.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it has sent two investigators to the scene of the wreck.
