LASD TRANSIT SECURITY ASSISTANTS INVOLVED IN AN INJURY TRAFFIC COLLISION IN THE VALLEY
At 5:46 this morning, Three Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Security Assistants travelling south on Canoga Avenue, in a marked Sheriff’s van, were struck by a Toyota van driven by a female adult travelling west on Parthenia Street. Sheriff’s Motor Deputies on scene report that two of the Security Assistants received minor injuries, and one was transported to a local hospital with a possible broken leg.
Preliminary reports from bystanders at the scene are that the driver of the Toyota van may have ran the red light causing the collision. The Security Assistants were on their way to the Metro Orange line, where they are Fare Inspectors for the Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau, the LASD unit that has the policing responsibilities for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
LAPD and LASD investigations into the crash are ongoing. No further information is available at this time.
