On February 26, 2010, at around 7:20 a.m., a black Toyota and a black Infiniti, both traveling westbound on Sunset Boulevard, struck 13-year-old Julia Siegler.
Siegler was walking southbound across Sunset Boulevard in a marked crosswalk against a red light when the accident occurred. Julia was trying to catch the school bus that would take her to Harvard-Westlake, where she was an eighth grader.
The drivers of both cars stopped and attempted to assist Siegler and her mother who was with her at the time of the accident. After ensuring she was being treated by medical personnel, both drivers and their passengers left the scene. The Los Angeles City Fire Department transported the victim to a local hospital where she died from her injuries.
Siegler was remembered fondly by friends and family at an emotional service held at University Synagogue.
