Overview

• Mary Fong Lau, 80, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of felony vehicular manslaughter stemming from the March 2024 crash that killed a family of four at a West Portal bus stop.
• Relatives of the victims have filed a new civil lawsuit alleging Lau fraudulently transferred ownership of three San Francisco properties to Nevada-based LLCs to evade financial liability.
• The properties, valued at over $3.5 million combined, include two single-family homes and a commercial building that houses a community organization.
• The plaintiffs are seeking to void these transfers under the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act and to block Lau from making additional asset moves while litigation is ongoing.
• Lau’s criminal trial is set for a preliminary hearing in July, while the wrongful death lawsuit remains paused pending the outcome of the criminal case.
