Los Angeles, California (April 26, 2020) – A pedestrian was killed Saturday afternoon in a crash in South Los Angeles, according to the California Highway Patrol.

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.
