Malibu, CA (August 4, 2026) — A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near Stunt Road and Schueren Road in the Malibu area on Sunday, August 2.
California Highway Patrol dispatch records show emergency vehicles were sent to the scene shortly after 8:30 p.m.
A black Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 with front and left-side damage was later located eastbound on Saddle Peak Road, approximately one mile east of Stunt Road. Authorities arranged for the vehicle to be towed.
The circumstances leading to the collision remain under investigation. We hope the pedestrian receives the care and support needed following the crash.
Where the Crash Happened: Stunt Rd and Schueren Rd
Stunt Road and Schueren Road run through a winding, less-developed area of the Santa Monica Mountains. Roads in this setting may have curves, elevation changes, limited shoulders, and fewer nearby access points than urban streets.
Those roadway characteristics can affect visibility and leave pedestrians with limited separation from passing vehicles. The surrounding road network, including nearby Saddle Peak Road, may also be relevant as investigators trace vehicle movements after the collision.
What We Know
- The crash was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Sunday.
- Dispatch records classified the incident as a vehicle-versus-pedestrian collision.
- Emergency vehicles responded.
- A black Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 was located with front and left-side damage.
- The vehicle was found on eastbound Saddle Peak Road, about one mile east of Stunt Road.
- A tow truck was requested for the vehicle.
Why Pedestrians Face Added Risks on Mountain Roads
Pedestrians have little protection when struck by a motor vehicle, and roads with curves or limited shoulders can reduce the time available for both drivers and pedestrians to react.
In this case, investigators will need to establish where the pedestrian was positioned and how the involved vehicle approached the area near Stunt Road and Schueren Road. The dispatch log does not describe the pedestrian’s movements or the point of impact.
How This Crash Is Investigated
Investigators may compare the damage to the Mercedes with debris, roadway markings, and evidence found near the reported collision site. The vehicle’s later location on Saddle Peak Road may help authorities reconstruct its route after the impact.
Statements from witnesses and those involved may also be reviewed alongside any available camera or vehicle data. The early dispatch record contains several developing details, so the completed investigation may clarify the sequence and the number of vehicles involved.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Collision
People affected by a California pedestrian crash should preserve medical records, photographs, damaged personal property, transportation expenses, and insurance correspondence. Notes about witnesses, vehicle descriptions, and the precise location may also help document information that can become difficult to recall later.
For crashes investigated by the California Highway Patrol, reports are available through the CHP Crash Portal at crashes.chp.ca.gov or through a CHP 190 request submitted by mail or in person. The collision report form is CHP 555, while CHP 190 is the request form.
The online portal fee is $22. Mail and in-person requests cost $10 per 25 pages through CHP. A report becomes available after the investigating officer files it, and the portal indicates when it is ready.
