Mother Learns of Daughter’s Accident on TV
A critically injured teenager left unconscious when she was struck by a vehicle while riding a skateboard in Bellflower was identified 24 hours after the accident as an 18-year-old resident of Los Alamitos.
Stacey Posey was identified Thursday night when her mother saw pictures of her on a television news broadcast, said Lt. Margo Carpini of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Posey was struck by a vehicle about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 9400 block of Rosecrans Avenue, said station Sgt. Frances Genino.
“The victim was not carrying any identification at the time of the accident, so deputies were unable to notify her parents,” Genino said.
