Woman Living On PCH Bus Bench Taken To Hospital
Written by 991KBU on June 13, 2020
The sad case of the woman at the street corner has entered a new phase.
The lady has been living on the bus bench at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway at Kanan Dume Road for more than a half year.
People had tried to approach her … to make friends with her … to earn her trust.
The city’s outreach workers.
Passersby.
Law enforcement.
Some people have posted details about her on social media … including her name.
We will not share them here.
Yesterday … four squad cars and an undercover unit were at the corner for four hours.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies took the woman to Olive View Hospital … a county full service hospital in the San Fernando Valley.
She was admitted for general medical care … officials tell us … but that is all they can say under federal law.
California law allows a person to be hospitalized involuntarily for 72 hours only.
