LOS ANGELES – In the late hours of Thursday night, a fatal traffic collision claimed the life of a man in the West Adams district. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently conducting an investigation into what they are describing as a high-speed, hit-and-run incident.
According to official reports, at approximately 11:30 p.m., LAPD officers responded to an emergency in the vicinity of the 4800 block of Adams Boulevard near Harcourt Avenue. Preliminary findings suggest that a vehicle, traveling at an excessive speed, struck the car of the deceased before losing control and colliding with a structure adjacent to the roadway.
Tragically, the man operating the struck vehicle was declared dead on site by first responders. Meanwhile, it is reported that the driver responsible for the crash fled the location by foot prior to the arrival of law enforcement personnel.
In the chaos of the incident, a woman caught in the tumult as an occupant of another vehicle, sustained injuries and was swiftly transported to a local hospital; her condition has yet to be disclosed.
The LAPD is urging eyewitnesses or anyone with pertinent information about the culprits of the collision to come forward to aid in the ongoing investigation. The department is intent on piecing together the sequence of events leading to the tragedy and delivering justice for the victim.
