Where the Crash Happened: SR-60 East near South Hacienda Boulevard
The reported location is eastbound SR-60 near South Hacienda Boulevard in Hacienda Heights. This is a state route corridor where traffic can move at freeway speeds and where lane closures can quickly affect a wide stretch of roadway.
The Hacienda Boulevard area was a key reference in the dispatch log because responders were managing lane blocks and traffic breaks while the scene remained active. In a freeway-area pedestrian crash, investigators may need to review the shoulder, traffic lanes, vehicle positions, and the pedestrian’s location before impact.

Why Pedestrian Collisions on State Routes Need Detailed Review
Pedestrian crashes on state routes can be especially dangerous because vehicles often move faster than on local streets, leaving drivers little time to react. In this case, CHP dispatch notes placed the incident on eastbound SR-60 near South Hacienda Boulevard and later classified it as a hit-and-run with injuries.
The lane closures and traffic breaks also show why the scene required extended management. Investigators may need to examine vehicle damage, roadway debris, lane positions, and the pedestrian’s location before determining how the crash occurred.
How This Crash Is Investigated
CHP investigators may review roadway marks, debris, vehicle damage, witness statements, tow records, dispatch timing, and any available camera footage from the corridor. In a hit-and-run investigation, officers may also work to confirm which vehicle left the scene and whether additional evidence can identify the driver.
Because the dispatch record does not provide a final cause, no conclusion should be made about speed, impairment, distraction, visibility, or why the pedestrian was in the roadway. Additional details may be released after CHP completes its review.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Collision in California
After a serious injury crash, the official report can provide important details about the vehicles involved, the investigating agency, the crash location, and findings documented by responding officers that may not be included in an initial dispatch report.
In California, crash reports are managed by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for collisions investigated by CHP, including many incidents on freeways, state highways, and in unincorporated areas. Crashes investigated on city streets are typically handled by the local police department. The official online resource is the CHP Crash Portal, while reports may also be requested by mail or in person using the CHP 190 request form. The primary forms associated with California crash reports are the CHP 555 Traffic Collision Report and the CHP 190 Request Form.
California’s report fees are listed as $22 through the online portal or $10 per 25 pages for mail or in-person requests through CHP. Reports generally become available after the investigating officer submits the report and processing is complete, with the portal indicating when a report is ready. Access is restricted to eligible parties, including drivers, passengers, vehicle or property owners, parents or guardians, and authorized legal or insurance representatives, as provided under California Vehicle Code 20012. California collision reports are not public records and are released only to qualified parties, rather than after a set public release period.
Authorities may provide additional updates as CHP continues examining the circumstances surrounding the Hacienda Heights crash.
