Wrongful Death
Woman dies after falling out of moving party bus on Calif. highway
A drunken female reveller who fell out of a party bus during a catfight was caught under the wheels of the bus and killed.
The two young women clashed on their way back from a country music concert to Santa Cruz, California, when the doors accidentally opened and the tragic accident took place.
Natasha Noland, 25, died after plunging from the bus at around 11.50pm on Friday on Highway 17, while a 20-year-old woman from Felton was injured.
Several of the 12 to 15 passengers on the Party Bus of Santa Cruz fled the scene, according to Mercury News, and two others were arrested for drunkenness.
The group was returning from a Brad Paisley concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View and were all ‘highly intoxicated’ and uncooperative, according to police.
‘We’re hoping once they sober up they’ll cooperate a bit more,’ said California Highway Patrol officer DJ Sarabia.
The shocking news comes at a time when lawmakers are debating whether to more closely regulate drinking on party buses.
Party buses are typically vans that look like airport shuttles and can seat from 15 to 30 people. They often have couches and bars instead of row seating and some include stripper poles and dance floors.
‘As they’re fighting, somehow the door to this bus opens up and they both fall out,’ said Mr Sarabia. ‘The victim is run over by the bus, and the other woman is injured.’
Ms Noland is the daughter of Todd and Sue, owners of a well-known Santa Cruz surf shop.
Employees at Pacific Wave, where she worked as the women’s goods buyer, later said they were devastated by the news.
The Mercury News noted that the accident occurred as the California legislature is considering a bill to clamp down on underage drinking on party buses.

Cyclist Killed on Campbell Avenue Identified
A Cupertino man who was struck by a car while riding his bicycle in Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cyclist was identified as Charles Shaffer of Cupertino.
Around 6:25 p.m. on Thursday Campbell police say Shaffer was attempting to cross four-lane Campbell Avenue east of La Pradera Drive in front of the Kirkwood Plaza Shopping Center.
A Buick sedan traveling east, driven by an unidentified 28-year-old man, struck Shaffer.
Traffic was diverted for a time after the collision.
There is no indication the car was traveling at excessive speed, according to Campbell Police Capt. Charley Adams.
The driver remained at the scene and Adams said he has been “very cooperative” with the investigation. He submitted to a voluntary substance test and police do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision.
Officers responded to a report of a traffic collision between a cyclist and a car, Adams said. Upon arrival, officers found Shaffer in the center of Campbell Avenue.
“Emergency personnel attempted to revive (him) but were unsuccessful,” Adams said. “He was pronounced dead at the scene.”
The car is still being processed and witness accounts are being vetted, police said.

Child dies after Fresno crash; Central High coach faces DUI, manslaughter charges
Central High School’s boys varsity basketball coach faces a charge of vehicular manslaughter after a child struck in a northwest Fresno crash Wednesday night died, police say.
The 7-year-old child was one of three family members riding bicycles in a crosswalk across Shepherd Avenue when they were struck by a car driven by Loren LeBeau, 42, police said.
Police said LeBeau left the accident scene but later returned and identified himself. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, Lt. Mike Doyle said.
Doyle said a father and his 2-year-old daughter were on one bicycle and the 7-year-old boy on another when they were hit as they rode the Fresno-Clovis Rail Trail across Shepherd Avenue just after 9 p.m.
The boy, identified by the Fresno County coroner as Donovan Maldonado, was dragged a couple hundred yards down westbound Shepherd Avenue, Doyle said.
The boy was taken either to Community Regional or Children’s Hospital Central California and was initially listed in very critical condition.
The father and daughter were taken to Community Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. Doyle said. They were not identified.
Doyle said the family was in a group that included four others — including the children’s mother — who were walking the trail. A street light at that crossing was not working Wednesday night.
Police were trying to determine Wednesday night how fast the driver was going, and whether his headlights were on at the time of the crash.
Although Doyle could not confirm LeBeau was Central High’s coach, a player contacted Wednesday night who saw television footage of the driver confirmed he was the school’s coach.
LeBeau has been Central High’s varsity basketball coach for 10 seasons, including the past five years.
In between his two stints as Central’s coach, LeBeau served as an assistant coach at Pepperdine and Fresno City.

Santa Paula police officer killed in DUI crash
A Santa Paula police officer was killed and another person was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a crash Sunday night near Santa Paula, authorities said.

405 North Closed At Artesia After Fatal Construction Worker Crash
Two alleged drunken drivers hit each other and then plowed into a construction crew, killing two road workers, on the 405 (San Diego) Freeway in the South Bay early Sunday morning.
The workers were identified as Ramon Lopez, 56, of Chino Hills and Ricardo Zamora, 58, of Winchester in Riverside County, said Coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie.
Paramedics rushed a third worker to Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries, said California Highway Patrol Officer Dion Conley. The crash was reported to the CHP at 3:35 a.m.
The two workers were employed by a contracting firm under Caltrans supervision, and their bodies were still at the scene at mid-morning.
CHP officers said a blue Ford Explorer driven by Yocio Jonathan Gomez, 33, of Norwalk, smashed into the rear of a black Lexus RX-350 SUV driven by Stephan Christopher Caserta, 43, of Playa Vista, Conley said.
“As it turns out, one of the motorists (Caserta) was slowing down as he saw the construction site. He was rear-ended by the other motorist, which caused them both to drive into the construction zone,” said CHP Officer Ed Jacobs.
The sport utility vehicle spun out control, forcing him to strike the three workers. Gomez’s car overturned on its roof.
Paramedics rushed both drivers to hospitals, where both were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. “And there’s a lot of charges we can affix to that (charge),’ Conley said.
The medical conditions of Gomez and Caserta were not immediately known.
The northbound 405 remained closed at the South Bay Curve until about 2 p.m. as the CHP Major Accident Investigation Team surveyed the wrecks. The incomplete repaving job was also completed, CHP officers at the scene said.
“At the time of the closure the number one and the HOV lanes were the only lanes open’ on the northbound 405 near the Artesia Boulevard off ramp,” Conley said.

Female Cyclist Killed In Hit-And-Run Accident On PCH In Santa Monica
SANTA MONICA (CBS) — Authorities are searching for a driver responsible for a hit-and-run accident that killed a female cyclist in Santa Monica.
The accident happened just after 11 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of Pacific Coast Highway near Entrada Drive, Santa Monica police said.
The cyclist was traveling southbound on PCH and straddling the No. 3 lane when she was hit from behind, according to officials.
“The victim was actually riding on the right side of the roadway and for unknown reasons actually swerved into the middle of the three lane and that’s when she was struck,” Sgt. Richard Lewis of the Santa Monica Police Department said.
Police say the impact threw the woman some distance requiring police officers to search for her body.
The victim, a 30-year-old Venice resident identified Wednesday evening as Erin Galligan, was declared dead at the scene.
Both directions of PCH were shut down for several hours as detectives searched the scene for evidence.
Police say the suspect was driving a white pick-up truck or SUV that now has extensive front damage, however no further information was available.
