Los Angeles, CA (November 1, 2025) – A fatal collision occurred on Thursday, October 30, on the northbound Harbor (110) Freeway near Manchester Avenue in South Los Angeles. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the incident was reported around 5:53 a.m. and involved a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle under unclear circumstances.
Emergency responders, including CHP officers and Los Angeles Fire Department personnel, arrived at the scene shortly after the call. Despite their efforts, the pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office was called to remove the body, while Caltrans crews assisted in clearing the wreckage and restoring traffic flow.
Authorities later identified the victim as a 38-year-old male. Three lanes of the northbound Harbor Freeway were temporarily closed as investigators worked to document the scene and determine the events leading to the collision. A SigAlert was issued to alert motorists of the lane closures, which caused heavy traffic congestion in both directions as drivers slowed near the crash site.
The cause of the incident remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol. Officials have not yet released information on the vehicle involved or whether the driver remained at the scene.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time.
