Families of four Pepperdine University sorority sisters killed by a speeding BMW driver on California's Pacific Coast Highway are suing state and local governments, citing negligence in maintaining safety on the notoriously dangerous stretch known as 'Dead Man's Curve.' The lawsuit, filed in Santa Monica Superior Court, claims government entities, including Caltrans and Los Angeles County, have long been aware of the hazardous conditions yet failed to implement necessary safety measures. In the past decade, this area has recorded over 3,000 collisions, leading to 52 deaths and 92 serious injuries, raising concerns about pedestrian safety. The plaintiffs argue that the roadway design is inadequate, forcing pedestrians to walk dangerously close to traffic with insufficient protections. The driver, Fraser Bohm, faces multiple charges including vehicular manslaughter for the incident that took place in October 2023. The families hope to compel the state to take action to prevent future tragedies on this perilous road.
