LOS ANGELES — The family of a cinematographer killed on a University of Southern California student film shoot in April has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the prestigious school and two of its students.
The parents of Peng Wang, a Chapman University student who died after the off-road vehicle he was in rolled while traversing the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, alleged the university had sanctioned the project and knew that the team would be using off-road vehicles and shooting in the desert, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday.
The family is seeking unspecified damages. A representative did not respond to requests for comment.
