Recent traffic incidents include a fatality, train accident and motorcycle arrest MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
Santa Monica’s public safety employees have had a tragic and busy week including a deadly crash on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), a train vs. car accident on Colorado and the arrest of an individual connected to a year-old fatality also on the PCH. The most severe incident occurred on Wednesday morning. A pedestrian entered the PCH for unknown reasons at about 5 a.m. on August 23 where he was hit by a vehicle at about the 1100 block. The pedestrian died at the scene and the driver was not injured. Officers said the driver was fully cooperating and the accident is still under investigation. Traffic throughout the city came to a
grinding halt for most of the morning as cars were diverted away from the PCH. Later that day, police officers and firefighters responded to an unrelated accident at 11th and Colorado. According to SMPD a Prius made an illegal left turn from Colorado onto 11th at about 7:10 p.m. The car turned in front of a moving Expo train and triggered the collision. Firefighters, paramedics and police officers responded to the scene resulting in the closure of the intersection for more than an hour. No-one was injured in the accident and the scene was cleared at about 8:45 p.m. In the third case, officers arrested Scott Miller on Aug. 21 for SEE CRASH PAGE 4

City Hall has obtained an injunction against a local property manager accused of harassing a disabled tenant. The City Attorney’s Office filed the tenant harassment suit in 2016 against the owners of a local property and their property manager Kathy Golshani. The lawsuit alleges that landlords Cecil McNabb and Golshani tried to disrupt the already-challenging daily routine of a mother taking care of her severely developmentally disabled daughter. “The daughter is quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and requires special care in the transfer of herself and her wheelchair in a ramp-equipped van,”

said the City Attorney’s Office. “The lawsuit claims the owners tried to force the mother and daughter out of their longtime rent-controlled home by stopping them from using the carport to transfer the daughter to the accessible van. The complaint also alleges that the owner caused the tenant’s hot water to be shut off for four days.” The City received a temporary restraining order (TRO) in January of this year that limited Golshani’s actions and the TRO was extended this week based on allegations Golshani has continued to harass the tenants. “As the City showed in its January 27, 2017 Application for Temporary Restraining Order, SEE TRO PAGE 7
