Los Angeles, CA (June 13, 2024)- Two victims fatally struck by a train in Van Nuys have been identified, marking a tragic incident in the community.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner‘s office has released the names of Bunny Martinez, 39, and Jessie Lopez, 26, who were involved in a collision with an Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.
The accident occurred at approximately 9:29 p.m. on Sunday near 7600 Woodman Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Brian Humphrey, a spokesperson for the fire department, confirmed that both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
The report highlighted the severity of the accident but also noted that no other injuries were reported among the train’s passengers or crew, all of whom did not require any medical attention.
The train was temporarily halted at the crash site to facilitate an in-depth investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal event.
In the aftermath of such incidents, the question of compensation for the victims and their families comes to the forefront.
