Tricycle Man of Whittier, Killed in Crash
WHITTIER, CA (December 17, 2019) – Danny Martin, who was known as the “Tricycle Man” and unofficial greeter in Whittier, was killed early in the morning on Monday in a collision. The December 16 incident occurred on Whittier Boulevard close to Jordan Road.
The time was roughly 6:00 a.m., according to Rudy Molano. Molano is with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
Reports say Martin had been crossing Whittier Boulevard when a vehicle—described as a BMW—which had been heading west, hit him.
Responders arrived and pronounced Martin deceased at the incident site. He was 61 years old and a resident of Whittier.
According to Whittier Police, Martin had not been crossing where there is a crosswalk that is marked, or at an intersection. The person who had been driving the vehicle stayed at the incident site and cooperated with investigators.
The identity of the driver, including name, age, gender, and city of residence, has not been reported.
Reports say Martin had previously been in collisions with vehicles. An incident in 2016 wrecked his tricycle and, according to reports, members of the community raised funds to help him purchase a new one.
Investigators are continuing the work of gathering information and details to understand why the accident happened, and what factors contributed to it.
