Los Angeles, California (March 10, 2020) – A 12-year-old schoolboy was killed in an auto-pedestrian accident on Tuesday morning in South Los Angeles, according to authorities.

The deadly crash occurred at the intersection of Woodlawn and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at about 7:30 a.m.

The schoolboy was walking to a middle school when a car turning left from Woodlawn onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard struck him, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Responding paramedics and Los Angeles Fire Department tried to save the boy’s life, but unfortunately, the boy succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was closed for an unknown period due to the accident.

More details about the crash were immediately not available.

The crash remains under investigation.

“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” Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian, believes. “Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries including temporary or lifelong disability, severe disfigurement, severe physical and emotional pain, and/or death.” He adds.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys have helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
