Woodland Hills, CA (September 4, 2024) – A tragic accident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, September 4, 2024. Pedestrian Tianqi Wang, 24-year-old, was struck by a vehicle on the southbound 101 Freeway near Winnetka Avenue in Woodland Hills.
Accident Details: Wang was struck and killed by a vehicle at approximately 6:00 a.m. The circumstances leading up to the accident remain unclear at this time, and no further details about the driver or the vehicle involved have been released. Wang was pronounced dead at the scene, and the accident is currently under investigation by authorities.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination. Given the limited information available, several questions must be answered to determine potential liability in this tragic accident. A key focus of the investigation will be to uncover why Tianqi Wang was on the freeway and whether there were any contributing factors, such as poor visibility, road conditions, or driver negligence.
The driver’s role in this accident will also be thoroughly examined. Were they driving at a safe speed for the conditions? Were there any distractions or violations of traffic laws? Depending on these findings, Wang’s family might be able to hold the driver or other parties, such as city or state agencies responsible for road maintenance or signage, liable for Wang’s death by filing a wrongful death claim.
I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Tianqi Wang during this incredibly difficult time.
