On Saturday, December 14, 2019 11:08 PM, Pomona Police responded to a call for service to assist the Fire Department on a report of a subject not breathing at 2894 Ficus St. This location is a commercial trucking yard. When Officers arrived, they located a severely injured male, who was not breathing, in the parking lot. The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded also and soon pronounced the victim deceased at the scene.
Officers learned the victim was helping guide a driver as he pulled a trailer out of a parking space. The victim was standing near or in between two empty, unhitched, parked trailers. The driver accidentally hit one of the trailers, which caused the victim to lose balance and hit his head against the side of the other trailer. This caused a fatal injury.
The driver remained on scene and cooperated with police. He was not intoxicated and had a valid commercial drivers license. Neither the victim nor the driver are California residents.
