The telephone number for Rose Hills Memorial Park is (562) 699-0921.<br \/>\nFuneral services will be Saturday, June 29, at 11 a.m. at St. Benedict Catholic Church located at 1022 W. Cleveland Ave. in Montebello, Calif. The church\u2019s telephone number is (323) 721-1184.<br \/>\nThe funeral will be followed by interment at Rose Hills Memorial Park.<br \/>\nGamboa, a member of SMART Transportation Division Local 1563 at El Monte, Calif., is survived by her husband, Bernardo, and three daughters. The <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em> reported Gamboa came from a family of bus operators and that her husband and one of her daughters were also Metro employees.<br \/>\nAccording to television station KTLA in Los Angeles, Gamboa was a 13-year Metro veteran and a grandmother.<br \/>\nThe accident happened at S. Broadway and 5th St. at approximately 5:15 a.m. the Los Angeles Fire Department said.<br \/>\nThe tow truck was headed southbound on Broadway when its driver ran a red light and collided with the bus, witnesses told police officers.<br \/>\n\u201cA citizen estimated the tow truck was driving about 60 miles per hour,\u201d Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Steve Dailey said. \u201cThe speed limit for here is about 30 miles per hour.\u201d<br \/>\nThe bus was in the intersection when it was hit and knocked down a fire hydrant, sending water high up into the air. The tow truck plowed into a nearby 7-Eleven store.<br \/>\nThe driver of the tow truck, 43-year-old Yousef Adhami, remains hospitalized. He has had multiple suspensions and had surrendered his license after his last infraction, KTLA reported.<br \/>\nGamboa is the first SMART TD member killed while on duty in 2013.<br \/>\nHer tragic death is not the first to be mourned by her fellow members. On May 20 last year, Los Angeles Metro bus operator Alan Thomas was murdered aboard his bus in West Hollywood, Calif., by a lone gunman. Thomas was also a member of Local 1563.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Services for SMART Transportation member and Los Angeles Metro bus operator Olivia Gamboa, 47, who was killed June 12 in a head-on crash with a speeding flatbed tow truck while operating her bus, have been finalized, Bus Vice President Bonnie Morr reports.
