Relatives of family killed in SF West Portal crash file lawsuit against driver for moving assets
Briefly

An 80-year-old San Francisco woman, Mary Fong Lau, is facing a wrongful death lawsuit after allegedly transferring assets to shield them from claims arising from a fatal bus stop crash. The lawsuit alleges these actions were intentional to avoid liability for the deaths of a young family. The District Attorney has charged Lau with felony vehicular manslaughter, suggesting a mechanical failure claimed by Lau isn't supported by the police investigation. Legal experts have raised concerns over the alleged asset transfers being legally questionable, especially in light of potential large judgments against Lau.
In July 2024, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins charged the 80-year-old driver with four counts of felony vehicular manslaughter.
The victims' families filed a wrongful death lawsuit in June 2024, which is currently on hold pending the conclusion of the criminal case.
