Qingyu Liu fatally struck in East San Gabriel pedestrian crash, CHP

EAST SAN GABRIEL, CA (April 18, 2026) — A 90-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle in the East San Gabriel area of Los Angeles County, authorities reported.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. in the 9000 block of Southview Road near Jackson Place.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Qingyu Liu. He was pronounced dead at the scene following the collision.

Officials have not released additional details regarding the circumstances of the crash, including the identity of the driver involved. The incident remains under investigation.


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Each year, thousands of pedestrians lose their lives on U.S. roadways—a growing crisis linked to reckless driving behavior, insufficient infrastructure, and roads primarily designed for vehicles. From 2009 to 2023, pedestrian fatalities surged by 80%, compared to a 13% increase in overall traffic deaths, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA).

“In many cases, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing a street or intersection, even if they are not within a marked crosswalk,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation by an experienced attorney to help safeguard the rights of the victim’s family.

Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and street lighting may all contribute to such incidents and must be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential in helping families seek justice after a tragic loss.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is generally the responsibility of a driver to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Qingyu Liu may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.

“Families of wrongful death victims can seek compensation for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral costs, and emotional distress following a devastating accident,” Formica explained.

“Insurance companies may attempt to push for quick settlements that do not reflect the true value of a claim,” he added. “An attorney can strongly advocate on behalf of the family to ensure they are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation.”
