Sorry for your loss.

Hmm, no alcohol or drugs involved, but no mention of whether or not she was on her cellphone.

So now the bigger question is, was it an honest mistake or was it due to negligence?

Thank you all for kind words. If anyone has information on the accident please contact
Santa Fe Springs office at (562) 868-0503 as it says in the article.

It's tough but we're trying our best to get through this and I thank every one of you on behalf of my mother and sisters.

did they get the girl that hit your father? i'm assuming by this post that the article linked is about your father. are there some problems finding the girl that hit your father or figuring out what happened?

condolences and i hope that you get the closure you need.

my condolences

on a side note, maybe this is an example why you should never stop in the side of a freeway to do tire change or fix stuff, always do it off the freeway.

One time I was in a buddy's car on the way to tahoe, his car hit a pretty big stone, and his front left tire went bust. He stopped on the side of the freeway wanting to put on the spare tire, however a CHP came and he forbade us to change the tire there, he then escorted us until the next freeway exit.

How the heck did the other driver swerve into the shoulder? When I see a car on the shoulder I usually begin to move in the opposite direction. Criminally Negligent Homicide anyone?

What if exits are 5 miles or so apart? I was thinking the same as you until I kind of thought about that aspect of it. I guess you could drive slowly on the shoulder or something. There are also the u-turn sections that police sit in on some expressways around here that I'd probably try to head into (the cops probably would not like this, but chances of being hit are drastically lower I'd think).

would have been better to ruin a rim driving on it a way than have this happen though.

Sorry to hear that

Sorry for your loss. My condolences.

Be strong. Your family needs your support and comfort, especially your mom.

I know this because my youngest sister was killed by a drunk driver 2 years ago. It was the hardest thing to go thru for my family.
Good luck.

even if she wasn't on the phone, this kind of thing is a frequent occurance... drivers veer into blinking lights on the side of the road as they look in that direction... especially if they are 'surprised' (as in they were paying little attention to driving in the first place) by them... it's a constant danger for cops when they have pulled someone over...

if u have to pull over at night, be sure to get as far off the side of the road as possible, and then u should get out of the car if u can and get on the far side of a barrier...

condolences on your loss.

Dammit man. What the hell... That's so sad, I'm sorry...

Ughhhhhhh, I drive by this all the time. Sorry for your loss ;(

To give a little background - the 105 east ends about 3 miles? after Paramount Blvd. Lakewood Blvd is after Paramount, and then the 605 freeway, where it ends.

What happens is that the freeway goes from being a five lane freeway to a three lane freeway in a very short amount of time, probably because the freeway is going to end soon. The 710 freeway is the main entry/exit before paramount and the ramp to get onto the 105 from the 710 ends almost immediately and merges, probably causing very many accidents and close calls.

There is another lane that ends and merges around paramount (bringing it down to three lanes), and quite often you see people forcing to merge, otherwise go to the shoulder. It's really stupid because there is ALOT of room for the lane to keep going, but they make it merge for whatever reason. Not only do these lane terminations cause the 105 east after the 710 to have permanent traffic in the afternoon, but anyone who really isn't paying attention can end up on the shoulder quite easily.

my sincerest condolences. Hang in there bud.
