A serious incident occurred late last night on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 in Los Angeles, California, when a male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle. The collision took place around 11:03 PM, as the pedestrian was reportedly walking in a construction zone between traffic cones. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene.
In the aftermath of the incident, multiple lanes were closed to allow for an investigation, resulting in significant traffic disruptions in the area. The pedestrian was found lying in the roadway with unknown injuries. Authorities requested the closure of two to four lanes to ensure the safety of both responders and motorists.
Reports indicated that there may have been additional vehicles involved, but the details surrounding their involvement remain unclear. A traffic alert was issued to inform drivers of the situation.
By early morning, the roadway was cleared, and the traffic alert was canceled. Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution and remain aware of their surroundings when traveling through construction zones. This incident highlights the importance of pedestrian safety on busy highways and the need for drivers to adhere to all traffic regulations.
