San Luis Obispo, CA (April 22, 2024) – A tragic accident in a local Costco parking lot last Monday resulted in the death of a Morro Bay man, identified as 65-year-old Bayani Naguit by San Luis Obispo police.
Incident Overview: The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Monday, April 22, in the Costco parking lot. Naguit was struck by a car under circumstances that are still being investigated. Despite being promptly taken to the hospital, Naguit later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigation and Legal Implications: Details about the vehicle involved have not been disclosed, but authorities have confirmed that the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the police investigation. No signs of impairment were detected, and as of now, no arrests have been made. The ongoing investigation will likely explore all factors contributing to the accident, including the driver’s actions and parking lot conditions, to determine any potential negligence. Since the accident happened at 4 p.m., it’s unlikely that lack of visibility would contribute to the collision, so negligence might be a factor in this case. Based on the current information available, Naguit’s family may benefit from speaking to a wrongful death attorney.
My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Bayani Naguit following this awful accident. If you can, please contribute to the family’s GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Bayani’s funeral service.
