Casa Grande family mourns grandma killed by senior center's bus
Family and neighbors are searching for answers after a senior center's van ran over an 81-year-old Casa Grande grandmother.
Eva Berger went to the Dorothy Powell Senior Center every weekday, according to her granddaughter. A city-operated van drove her to and from the center, which was about a mile from her home.
Around 12:45 p.m. Monday, the van dropped Berger off in the street in front of her house, and then the van ran over the woman, according to authorities. She died on the way to the hospital.
"Why would you leave her on the road?" questioned Briana Ramirez, Berger's granddaughter. "Weren’t you trained to make sure she gets in her property? Or wave? Make sure she’s okay?"
The ABC15 Investigators asked Casa Grande city officials about the van driver's experience and training. A city spokesperson said the driver is a part-time employee who started in December 2024. The driver had no prior incidents or policy violations, according to city officials, and she has no upcoming work hours scheduled.
