Big Rig Falls on Rosa Mejia’s Car, Nearly Crushing Her in Pasadena
PASADENA, CA (January 25, 2019) – Rosa Mejia was nearly crushed Wednesday morning in Pasadena when a big rig fell onto her car. The January 23 accident occurred where Del Mar Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue intersect.
The time was roughly 8:30 a.m.
Surveillance video from cameras located at Los Angeles College of Music, which was near the accident site, recorded the accident.
Reports say Rosa Mejia was inside her vehicle—described as a Toyota Prius—when a big rig truck fell over while the driver attempted to make a turn. The big rig fell on top of the Prius’ roof.
According to Mejia, she felt something fall onto the car, and was terrified when the Prius’ roof began collapsing and coming closer to her. Reports say she worried she would be crushed to death.
Mejia said she was aware she had to exit the vehicle before the situation grew worse. According to reports, Mejia’s daughter arrived at the accident scene, and shouted and cried for Mejia to wriggle out of the vehicle.
Mejia said her daughter pulled her from the crushed vehicle. Reports say that Mejia did not suffer serious injuries. She said she felt sorry for the big rig’s driver, because it was an accident, and not intentional. She said she could see he was upset emotionally.
The identity of the driver—including his name, age, and city of residence—have not yet been reported. It is not known from reports who the truck belonged to, or what company the big rig driver was working for.
Investigators are looking into the details and information regarding the incident.
