A pedestrian was killed after being struck by a vehicle on the 110 Freeway, snarling traffic in South Los Angeles early Wednesday morning.
The collision occurred around 3:45 a.m. on the southbound span of the 110 at Manchester Avenue in the Vermont Vista neighborhood, preliminary information indicates.
All southbound lanes were shut down after the crash, according to KTLA 5’s Ginger Chan.
“With all lanes stopped, that tells us they’re getting additional units to the scene,” Ginger said.
A SigAlert was issued shortly after the pedestrian was struck advising that the four right lanes of the freeway were shut down, and as of 6:30 a.m., traffic was still delayed up to 30 minutes.
Video obtained by KTLA shows a silver pickup truck with a mangled front bumper, although it was not immediately clear if that was the vehicle that struck the pedestrian.
More footage shows traffic at a complete standstill early Wednesday morning.
Drivers are advised to use FastTrak lanes or surface streets to avoid the crash site.
“You have the option of Western, Vermont and Normandie to the west and to the east, [you have] Broadway, Central and Avalon,” Ginger said.
What led up to the crash, including why the pedestrian was on the freeway, is still under investigation.
