Person Killed in South Los Angeles Pedestrian Crash on South Hill Street; Suspect Arrested

South Los Angeles, California (February 7, 2020) – A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle Thursday morning in South Los Angeles, according to police.

The crash happened at about 1:00 a.m., February 6, on South Hill Street near the West Adams Boulevard intersection.

The police said a 34-year-old man was hit by a Toyota Prius traveling southbound on Hill Street. The 34-year-old man was not in the crosswalk when he was struck. His name was not disclosed.

The involved driver fled the scene and abandoned the vehicle near 30th Street.

Bloodhounds were deployed to the scene and were able to pick a scent and tracked the man up to his premises. The man was taken into custody.

An investigation is underway.

“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.

Alpine Law Group President and Managing Partner, Arin Khodaverdian, encourage victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

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.
