Do not stand in front of bus!
First of all, people who don’t know the whole story should never comment negatively, that man that died yesterday was my brother and if you must know that bus driver was late by 15 minutes to his destination when he brutally struck and killed him!!, so don’t be so fast to assume that my brother, God rest his soul just stood in front of the bus!!!#IDIOT!!
My Thoughts and Prayers are with the Family Through This Difficult.
Well my cousin’s body was finally released from the coroner’s. He is going to be cremated and services are set near the end of June. I’m relieved that his ashes will be with family but I’m sickened to know that his body was severely mutilated that neither an embalmer nor a desairologist were able to prepare him for a final viewing. ???
For everyone concerned about this article, The person killed in this accident is my cousin. I myself have not received much in on the whole accident except that he was hit and killed on impact and that he went underneath the bus. It’s believed that the bus driver was texting at the time but still under investigation. Just an FYI my cousin was only 53 not 60
If the bus driver was texting, Santa Clarita transit would already know. There are cameras on every inch of those buses including one that is pointed right at the driver. Just letting you know. There’s cameras, they have to know what and how it happened already.

?? Were these the men run over??

No she was tagging us to read the story
Correct use crosswalk and stay out of street
A scene from Santa Clarita diet?
Full of jokes, aren’t you ???
Santa Clarita bus drivers are the worst drivers
I don’t say residents are better drivers at all! I was run over by one at a gas station! Almost killed me! I lost my quality of…shell of who I use to be….
No they aren’t. Scv drivers are the worst.
What is SCV bus doing in DTLA?
SC has commuter busses that go to downtown LA
Melissa Holguin i did not know that. Thanks for the info.

Khardine Silver based on the timeline, I’m afraid the bus driver is the one from my route ?
So sad, for the victim, and driver. The SCV bus drivers do an EXCELLENT job, and I’m sure the driver is devastated.

How tragic! I take Santa Clarita Transit downtown every day and it is a great service. My heart breaks for the victim’s family and for the bus driver.
The bus driver couldn’t stop the bus in time
@Khardine Silver, yes SCT has routes to downtown, Century City/UCLA, and Warner Center. Great alternative to driving — I’ve been riding SCT commuter buses since 1991.
@Andy Arriaga, I think SCT bus drivers as a group are good drivers. They’ve had some notable exceptions but most of the operators are skilled and experienced. And it’s not easy driving a 45 foot bus with up to 55 people on board to and through downtown or Century City.
SCValley has one of the best transportation service in the area. Provides alternative transportatio from driving. Many people depend on this service. Regardless of the outcome/investigation it is a trajic accident. My condolences to the family.
Also, my thoughts and prayers to the driver.
These comments are heartless! He was a good friend of mine! He was our overnight maintenance associate at the Pico Rivera Walmart store #2886 for a few years. He didn’t have many family members but he was loved by many, including me. I considered him my brother. He had such a sweet personality and he was a great worker. I know he had struggled his last few month’s and he was determined to get through it, just like he always did. I’m just glad he’s “resting” now. He’s been through a lot. Hope you see you in the new system “Smidgie.” His memorial service will be in June 29th at 5pm at Guerra Gutierrez mortuary 5245 E Pomona Blvd Los Angeles ca if anyone wants to attend.
this is my past coworker he was a very responsible caring man, he would not just throw himself in front of the bus, he was full of life, to even think of throwing himself in front of buses, most of all if the bus driver was paying attention to the road why didn’t he see my friend??? And wouldn’t that bus driver saw my friend why didnt he choose to slow down or even stopped??? Like I said my friend wouldn’t have jus jumped in front like a irresponsible person, h. And please keep from posting idiotic posts because this man ment things to people, he was loved by many,
RIP TO MY ANGEL FRIEND,
