This Sunday, a man was killed during a traffic accident in Canyon Country.  Now, the police say that the man has been identified as 15 year old Eric Michael Gilhooley.

Police say that the accident occurred at approximately 10:22 AM.  Prior to the collision, a vehicle had been traveling westbound on Soledad Canyon Road when it struck the curb, hitting and killing Gilhooley.  The pedestrian accident took place near the intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Gailxy Avenue.

Following the collision, police officers had to close roads for numerous hours to conduct investigations.  Detectives later determined that Gilhooley was standing on the curb when he was hit by a car that was driven by a 47 year old man.  The driver of the vehicle suffered minor injuries and it is reported that alcohol did not play a role in the crash.

At this time, no arrests have been made.

In Los Angeles, a woman by the name of Lauren Rosenberg has recently filed a lawsuit against internet Giant, Google. In her lawsuit, she accuses Google of being "careless, reckless and negligent" because the search provider gave her unsafe walking directions.

Rosenberg said that she followed Google's walking directions on her Blackberry.  The directions had her cross a dual carriageway that she asserts was not safe for pedestrians.  While walking, Rosenberg was hit by a speeding car before she got half way across the road.  She said that the pedestrian accident led to her suffering many broken bones. 

Her personal injury lawyer said, "We think there's enough fault to go around - but Google had some responsibility to direct people correctly or warn them."  He also asserted that Google created a trap by providing faulty walking directions.

At this time, Rosenberg is requesting that Google pay for her medical expenses, lost wages and emotional distress.  Google has not issued a comment about the claim.
