DIAMOND BAR, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 — A woman was killed early Wednesday morning, November 11, after being struck by a vehicle on the eastbound Pomona (60) Freeway in Diamond Bar, according to the California Highway Patrol. The crash happened near the interchange with the Orange (57) Freeway.
CHP officers responded to the freeway at about 2:15 a.m. after reports of a collision. A red Kia was initially reported to have struck a rock along the roadway, but officers who arrived found the vehicle had hit a pedestrian. Officers began CPR at the scene before the woman was pronounced dead.
All eastbound lanes were shut down with flares and a Sigalert was issued following the crash. The closure was later scaled back to one main lane, though the connector ramp from the 60 Freeway to the 57 Freeway also remained closed for a time. All lanes reopened by about 6:30 a.m.
It remains unclear why the woman was on the freeway. The circumstances of the crash are still under investigation.
Our sympathies are with the family of the person who lost their life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian crashes more likely to happen at night?
Reduced visibility after dark makes it harder for drivers to see people on or near roadways, and pedestrian crashes frequently occur during nighttime hours, especially on freeways and other roads not meant for foot traffic.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and walkers both share responsibility for watching traffic and crossing safely, particularly outside designated pedestrian areas.
What should someone do if they witness a pedestrian struck by a vehicle?
Call 911 immediately, avoid moving the injured person unless there is an immediate danger, and wait for emergency responders while keeping the area as safe as possible for arriving traffic.
What can drivers do to help avoid hitting a pedestrian?
Staying alert for people in unexpected areas, slowing down in low-visibility conditions, and avoiding distractions behind the wheel all help drivers react in time to avoid a person in or near the road.
