Would brighter headlights have given the bus driver more time to react, before he hit a woman walking in the road? We investigate a fatal crash on the Peninsula. Watch the full report now:
Maerina was the bus driver behind the wheel that night. Months after the accident, he called the Investigative Unit to speak about it for the first time.The headlights are the main issue here...Been warning [my supervisors] for about two years now.According to the crash report, Gloria was at fault for the collision for walking in the middle of the dark road right before she was hit.
After NBC Bay Area sent multiple requests for an interview, MV Transportation never responded to the requests, and SamTrans CEO and General Manager April Chan declined to talk on camera. She sent the following statement:Safety is always our highest priority, and we maintain rigorous standards for our vehicles and operators. This includes industry standard specifications for vehicles we purchase and daily checks for every vehicle by operators both before and after use.
In response to his accident, Maerina says MV Transportation sent a memo out to its bus drivers telling them to “use high beams, whenever you can. Especially at night on El Camino.” The memo acknowledged “there are many sections that are dark.” “I [am] very sure [that] more incidents or accidents are coming. You no change the lights, big trouble,” bus operator Oscar Aguilar said.
