Ortiz v. City of Santa Clarita CA2/7
Sandra Ortiz appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted the summary judgment motion filed by the City of Santa Clarita (City). Ortiz was hit by a vehicle while walking across the Sierra Highway in Santa Clarita at night after leaving a market alongside the highway. The location where Ortiz crossed was more than 400 feet from an unmarked crosswalk and 0.7 miles from a marked crosswalk. Ortiz sued the City for a dangerous condition of public property under Government Code section 835.
On appeal, Ortiz contends there were triable issues of fact whether the location of Ortiz’s accident was in a dangerous condition. Ortiz also argues in her supplemental briefing that she presented evidence showing the City knew or should have known the accident location constituted a dangerous condition in sufficient time to prevent the accident. We affirm.
