Los Alamitos, California (March 13, 2020) – One person believed to be homeless was killed in a car crash on Thursday morning in Los Alamitos.

The accident happened near the intersection of Katella Avenue and Bloomfield Street.

A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
