Los Angeles, CA (September 19, 2025) – A tragic accident in South Los Angeles has claimed the life of a 28-year-old man, who was struck by two vehicles while crossing outside a marked crosswalk, authorities confirmed. The incident occurred at approximately 7:35 p.m. last Friday along Figueroa Street, just north of 81st Street.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the victim was initially hit by a silver Toyota Corolla traveling southbound. The force of the collision threw the pedestrian into the air and back onto the roadway.
