A pedestrian was killed early Saturday after they were struck by a vehicle near an offramp of the 110 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Fire Department received a call just after 4 a.m. Saturday, near West 8th Place and Garland Avenue, for a car crash involving a pedestrian. When they arrived, emergency personnel found one person dead and another person they transported to a hospital, said Lyndsey Lantz, a department spokesperson. <\/p>\n
California Highway Patrol remained on the scene as of 8:30 a.m. <\/p>\n
A video from OnScene.TV showed officers standing around a black Cadillac sedan with its front passenger headlight and fender destroyed.<\/p>\n
A person sat on the pavement behind the car, talking to officers. Later, officers led the person around the scene. Soon, the person is seen hiding their face with a Spider-Man blanket as they collapse, screaming as another person hugs them.<\/p>\n
A few officers were gathered outside a gray pop-up canopy with its sides partially in the road. No information was available Saturday morning about whether anyone was inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A pedestrian was killed early Saturday after they were struck by a vehicle near an offramp of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9907,7,9,859,8,283,12303,152801,63,79993,2322,49959,984,7656,152800,2489,2822,5050],"class_list":["post-377467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-a-m-saturday","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-highway-patrol","tag-california-news","tag-car","tag-department-spokesperson","tag-front-passenger-headlight","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-lyndsey-lantz","tag-officer","tag-onscene","tag-pedestrian","tag-person","tag-saturday-morning-accident","tag-scene","tag-tv","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
