At approximately 11:00 pm on March 16th, 2026, deputies and CHP officers responded to a reported vehicle versus pedestrian collision near Olympic Boulevard and Arizona Avenue in East LA.

Footage captured from a nearby home showed a man walking in a crosswalk against a red light when he was hit by a white vehicle. The impact threw the victim across the intersection.

The driver of the vehicle was seen pulling over after the collision. According to a witness, the driver ran out the vehicle and fled the scene.
