West Hills, CA - Pedestrian Killed in Overnight Crash on Quinn Circle

West Hills, California (September 2, 2026) - A pedestrian was killed in a crash in the West Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed.

The crash was reported shortly after 10:30 p.m. in the 22100 block of Quinn Circle. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

A sedan with a shattered windshield and a hole on the driver's side was found at the scene. It was unclear whether the driver remained at the location or whether investigators are treating the crash as a hit-and-run.

The victim has not been identified. Investigators were still at the scene as of Thursday morning, and motorists were urged to avoid the area.

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

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Los Angeles, California

When a driver's identity and account are not yet known, families are often left waiting on the investigation to move forward before they understand what happened.

• Do not rely on the police report alone. An independent investigation can uncover details law enforcement may not pursue
• If the driver fled, uninsured motorist coverage under the victim's own policy may still provide a path to compensation
• Request the body-worn or dashcam footage before it is deleted or overwritten
• Do not sign any release or accept a settlement before consulting an attorney

A pedestrian struck outside a marked crosswalk, or under unclear circumstances, does not automatically lose the right to recover. California follows a pure comparative fault standard, meaning a family may still recover compensation even if the victim shares some responsibility. Wrongful death claims in California must generally be filed within two years of the date of death (CCP 377.60). For this crash, that deadline is September 2, 2028.
