Loma Vista Shut Down Due to Fatal Accident City Steps Up Traffic Enforcement Efforts

Beverly Hills, CA – Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills has been shut down indefinitely following a fatal accident Friday, May 9. A cement truck collided with another vehicle at 1:53 p.m. One person was killed and the truck driver was seriously injured. Loma Vista has been shut down between Doheny Road and Drury Lane.

This is the third accident on Loma Vista involving a heavy haul truck in the past two months. On Friday, March 7, a Los Angeles Police officer was killed and his partner injured when a runaway truck collided with a patrol car. On Friday, May 2, 2014, a cement truck was traveling southbound Loma Vista Drive when it struck several parked cars along Loma Vista Drive. The truck driver sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The City of Beverly Hills is aware of the concerns from the community regarding commercial vehicles traveling along Loma Vista Drive and surrounding streets. This is a critical public safety issue which the Beverly Hills Police Department and other City departments are aggressively working together to mitigate future accidents. The police
department has significantly stepped up traffic enforcement and commercial vehicle enforcement efforts in the Trousdale area since the beginning of the year. They have also deployed two speed radar trailers on Loma Vista.
