Six people were injured Friday morning when a three-vehicle crash involving a Los Angeles Metro bus was reported on Sherman Way in Reseda. The Los Angeles Fire Department said the collision happened at about 9:47 a.m. near the intersection of Sherman Way and Etiwanda Avenue, in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. A car reportedly struck the rear of the Metro bus, and a third vehicle was also involved. Firefighters evaluated seven people at the scene, and five of them were taken to area hospitals. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

According to ABC7 Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Fire Department said the severity of the victims’ injuries was not immediately known. KTLA reported that six people were injured in the crash, which came just days after a separate and unrelated Metro bus crash elsewhere in the Valley left two people dead and six others injured. Authorities have not released any names or said what allegedly caused the car to strike the bus. As of Friday evening, investigators were still working to determine the cause of the collision.

What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code 21703 requires drivers to maintain a safe following distance so they can stop in time if traffic ahead slows or stops. Rear-end collisions like the one reported on Sherman Way are often evidence that a driver violated this rule. A violation of VC 21703 can support a finding of negligence in a subsequent injury claim.

California Civil Code 2100 holds common carriers, including Metro buses, to a duty of utmost care and diligence for the safety of their passengers. That heightened standard means transit agencies can be held liable when the negligence of another motorist injures riders aboard the bus. Passengers hurt in a crash like this one may have claims against more than one party depending on how it occurred.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
