Los Angeles, CA – Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle at 3rd St and Broadway

Los Angeles, CA (October 31, 2025) – Emergency crews were dispatched on October 31 to the intersection of West 3rd St and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles after a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle, according to dispatch reports. The incident was reported just before 12:40 a.m., prompting a rapid response from Los Angeles Fire Department rescue units and LAPD Central Traffic Division officers.

Upon arrival, paramedics found an adult pedestrian lying on the roadway with visible injuries. Medical personnel provided immediate treatment at the scene before transporting the victim to a nearby trauma center for further care. The driver involved remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement officials.

Authorities temporarily closed portions of 3rd St and Broadway to allow emergency teams to secure the area and gather evidence. The crash caused minor delays in the downtown corridor while crews cleared debris and reopened the intersection.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the collision. Preliminary information suggests the pedestrian may have been crossing the street outside a designated crosswalk, though officials have not ruled out other contributing factors such as low visibility or driver distraction. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

We wish the victim and everyone involved a full and speedy recovery.
