A pedestrian was killed following a multi-vehicle collision in Lynwood early Thursday morning, August 1, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the deadly incident happened around 1:43 a.m. on the transition road from the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway and the eastbound Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway.
Responders found the pedestrian lying along the slow lane of the freeway with the damaged vehicles. After being attended to by the medical crew, the still-unnamed pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. It is still unclear how the deceased became involved in the crash and what they were doing along the roadway before it.
The total number of vehicles involved and its occupants were not immediately known. There is also no word yet on whether anyone inside the crashed vehicles at the time of the accident was injured.
Additional information was not immediately available, and the authorities are still gathering all the necessary details to determine the incident’s circumstances.
The connector road and parts of the 105 Freeway were closed for hours as the authorities cleared the crash site.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
