Was Mr. Lopez an employee of Google or one of the other companies in the area?
Rest in peace.

Yes, rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers to the family of Mr. Lopez. This is a tragic accident, and I don't understand why we as a community have not heard more about this. A HUGE bus hits a person and he dies. It was on the news that night and this article. That is it. Really? A Google bus kills someone....not the first time. A thirty year old lost his life to a commuter bus...ugh.

to Marie There is a post on Town Square section regarding this accident (type in Motorcyclist in Search) I started it on 28 Dec. after the evening of the 27th of December, when I realized that a person had been killed down the street from my house, and my heart was broken by the thought of someone dying on the cold street that nite. It was a tragic "accident" but somehow not solved by the MVPD yet...my experiences with those buses have not been good. Those of us that live out in North Bayshore have to deal with them daily and their "hogging" Shoreline Blvd. My belief is that with the new plans to build a new Neighborhood in North Bayshore the City Council should ban the buses from Shoreline Blvd. as it will be the street used by pedestrians for the planned shops, parks, and homes. Buses that size and quantity should not be traveling in that type of area. The buses should be coming in off of Bayshore/101 using Rengstorff or San Antonio so they are going directly into the business/industrial area whose people they are carrying, and stay out of the present residential and planned residential areas.
