Mr. Lindahl:
This letter will respond to the claim filed by Masahiro Iwasaki on January 1, 2008.
Mr. Iwasaki claims that his vehicle was damaged when a Keyline Bus struck his vehicle
while parked near 1800 Clarke Dr.
Based on the information provided in the police report and the Keyline operators report,
I conclude that the incident was unavoidable. It is therefore my recommendation to pay
the claim ($460.90) as filed.
Sincerely
Jon Rodocker
