43-year-old Chino Hills resident Serlander Faye Webb was struck and killed by a Jeep on June 1, 2011, around 8:58 a.m. near Chino Hills Parkway and Falling Star Lane. According to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Officials, Webb was crossing the street when she was struck by a Jeep driven by 29-year-old Angelina Muldown.
There is limited information on the sequence of events that led to this accident. An investigation will be conducted to determine the exact cause of the accident. Investigating officers need to determine whether Muldown was speeding, distracted, driving under the influence of drugs, or inattentive. If it is found during the initial investigation that Muldown’s reckless and negligent driving lead to this accident, then she may be held liable for Webb’s wrongful death.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the deceased pedestrian. 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….”
Webb’s family members should advise a San Bernardino pedestrian accident lawyer. A pedestrian injury attorney will make it easy for deceased’s family members to obtain compensation to cover funeral and burial expenses, loss of anticipated earnings, loss of love, and companionship and other accident-related expenses.
Our law office offers sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved Webb for such a tragic loss.
