Authorities Identify Pedestrian Hit and Killed by Bus on Magnolia Avenue in Long Beach as Mamlekat Joseph

Long Beach, California (February 9, 2020) – Authorities have identified the pedestrian who was struck and killed by a bus Saturday morning in Long Beach as Mamlekat Joseph, 71, of Long Beach.

The deadly pedestrian accident took place at about 11:16 a.m. Saturday, February 8, on Magnolia Avenue and West Third Street.

According to the authorities, Joseph was walking across Magnolia Avenue when she was hit by a northbound 2002 Bluebird bus that was making a left turn onto Third Street.

Joseph died at the scene.

The driver of the bus, a 25-year-old Van Nuys man, stopped at the scene and cooperated with authorities.

Alcohol or drugs were not suspected to be factors in the crash.

The accident remains under investigation.

A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
