Bicyclist Killed in Florence-Firestone Hit-and-Run
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 28, 2024) — Authorities are investigating a fatal hit-and-run that claimed the life of a bicyclist in the Florence-Firestone neighborhood of South Los Angeles early Wednesday morning.
The incident reportedly happened just after 1 a.m. on the 7900 block of Alameda Street when a man riding a BMX bike was struck by a wrong-way driver who jumped the sidewalk.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles County Fire paramedics. Investigators found the victim’s gray and black backpack, a cell phone, and his bright green bike near the site of the Florence-Firestone hit-and-run.
The intersection of Alameda and Nadeau streets, where the crash occurred, has seen multiple hit-and-run incidents in recent years, including a fatal pedestrian crash in 2021. Authorities are canvassing the area for witnesses and surveillance footage, but no details about the suspect’s vehicle have been released.
