There’s traffic cameras from knott, beach, magnolia, Brookhurst, Euclid, Lincoln, and until you get to Irvine. Since the original driver that hit the person “didn’t” realize it was a PERSON I have no sympathy whatsoever and I hope they are charged honestly. To the family that will receive the news my heart breaks for them… my little brother last footsteps where on I5-N near magnolia exit April 11 2023 💔 my condolences 🕊️
Was it a suicide we need more info please “ an individual was just standing in middle lanes on the freeway”? I’m confused
Horrible! Who would expect to see a person standing in the lanes on the freeway and how can someone call from home saying they hit something big but didn’t know it was a person?
@Bridg2Cali exactly what I was thinking , like how could it even be the drivers fault ? You don’t expect you just see a person walking on the freeway right ? The person who stood in front of traffic on a freeway had to of been not all there !!! Right ? Was the person homeless ? Do we have more info ? Very sad and most definitely traumatizing for the drivers as well !!! They have to live with that for the rest of their lives it’s hard on the drivers as well ! So sad !!!!
Hey so since I’m not involved in this I don’t care enough to check but for any family/friends, check if there was a traffic cam. Footage is not retained longer than 72 hours if you don’t submit a request for it so that evidence is lost.
