Los Angeles, CA - Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard On-Ramp to the 110 Freeway

Los Angeles, CA (November 11, 2026) - The California Highway Patrol said a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on-ramp to the southbound Harbor (110) Freeway in South Los Angeles. The crash was reported around 7:55 p.m. on November 11.

The pedestrian was taken to Dignity Health-California Hospital Medical Center. The person's condition was not known, and the pedestrian's age and sex were not released.

CHP officers said the pedestrian was hit under unclear circumstances. The CHP did not say what type of vehicle was involved. Authorities are still investigating the factors in the crash.

This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.

What Families Ask After a Pedestrian Crash on a Los Angeles Freeway On-Ramp

NHTSA data show 1,090 pedestrians were killed in California traffic crashes in 2024, or 28.1% of the state's 3,876 traffic deaths. Nationally, 73% of pedestrian deaths happened away from intersections. The CHP has not said what led to this crash, so questions about fault remain open.

Who can be held responsible when a pedestrian is hit on an on-ramp?

The driver, the vehicle's owner, or another party, depending on what the CHP finds. A lighting, signage, or road problem can also matter.

Can a pedestrian still recover if the CHP has not said what happened?

Yes. A claim can move forward while the investigation continues, and camera footage, witnesses, and vehicle data can show who was at fault.

What if the pedestrian was partly at fault?

Often, recovery is still possible. California's pure comparative fault rule reduces damages by the pedestrian's share but does not bar a claim.

What should a pedestrian or family do first?

Get medical care and ask the CHP for the crash report number. Keep clothing and shoes, and note nearby cameras, since footage is often overwritten quickly.

How long is there to file a claim?

Two years from the crash (CCP 335.1), which is November 11, 2028. Do not wait that long to get advice.
