LOS ANGELES, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 8, 2026 — A hit-and-run crash left at least one person injured on Saturday afternoon, November 7, on northbound I-110 near the West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on-ramp, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 4 p.m. near the on-ramp. A person described as a victim was reported moving to the roadside shoulder, and callers requested medical assistance for a possible injury crash. Los Angeles Fire Department units responded to the scene.
The driver believed to have caused the crash did not stay at the location, consistent with a hit-and-run, though the CHP log does not describe the vehicle or say whether the driver has been identified. An earlier caller to the incident reportedly gave a rambling account on an open phone line, and it is not clear what additional information that call provided.
No information on the extent of the injury or injuries has been released. The CHP is investigating the crash, and no arrests have been reported as of Saturday afternoon.
We hope those who were hurt recover fully and quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What typically causes crashes like this one on freeways?
Freeway collisions are commonly tied to factors such as sudden lane changes, following too closely, distracted driving, or merging conflicts near on-ramps, though the specific cause here has not been confirmed.
How does speed affect the severity of a crash?
Higher speeds reduce the time a driver has to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which generally leads to more serious injuries.
What should someone do if they are the victim of a hit-and-run?
Safety experts recommend moving to a safe location if possible, calling 911, and providing police with any details about the fleeing vehicle, such as its color, make, or license plate, to assist the investigation.
Why is distracted driving considered especially risky?
Even a few seconds of taking eyes off the road can prevent a driver from reacting to sudden slowdowns or merging traffic, raising the chance of a crash.
