Pedestrian Tidelands Grab Bill Tossed on Author to Offer Case
A 1 year old pedestrian sustained a fractured nelvis and other injuries Monday afternoon after being struck by two cars at Redondo Ave and Broadway. Enma F Swenson, 3345 E 1st St Apt B, was tossed onto the hood and under the vehicle before witnesses lifted the car off. She was taken to Community Hospital. The driver, Valentia Cecilia Trent, 47, of 3548 Josie Ave, said she did not see the victim while turning left after waiting for other cars. Rain contributed to a three car crash on Carson St east of Gardenia Ave at 2:50 p.m. Monday, injuring Credi Trotter, 52, who was treated and released. Participants included Herbert S Guthmann, 57, 2083 Fidler Ave. Rana Sullivan, 24, 1771 Calmar St. and Frank R Reynolds, 43, Los Alamitos. Guthmann said wet pavement prevented a quick stop. Separately, Assemblyman Bruce Allen of San Jose will seek LA Chamber of Commerce support for AB 3762 to grab Long Beach tides and oil revenue. He will speak at noon before the Chamber’s Committee on State and Local Government. A press conference will follow after Tuesday’s meeting. LA officials and harbor leaders oppose the measure, with a council resolution calling it a danger to coastal city economies and a cloud on titles.
