Ventura, CA (June 23, 2025) – Authorities are investigating a pedestrian-involved collision that occurred in the early hours of Sunday, following a report from hospital staff who treated the injured individual. The incident is believed to have taken place around 12:50 a.m. near the US-101/Seacliff area, though it was officially reported from 147 N Brent St at approximately 2:31 a.m.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Ventura area, the crash involved a vehicle striking a pedestrian in or near a roadside plot adjacent to the highway. The victim, whose identity has not been released, later arrived at a local hospital with injuries. Hospital personnel contacted authorities after learning the patient had been involved in a traffic collision.
The vehicle involved in the crash had already fled the scene, and no description has been made available as of this report. Due to the delay in reporting and lack of immediate witness information, CHP has launched an investigation to determine the vehicle’s make, model, and direction of travel at the time of the incident.
Authorities are reviewing potential surveillance footage from the surrounding area and asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information regarding suspicious vehicle activity near the US-101 and Seacliff interchange around 12:50 a.m. is encouraged to contact the CHP Ventura office.
We extend our support to the injured pedestrian and hope for their full recovery.
Late-Night Pedestrian Collisions in Ventura County
This hit-and-run incident near the US-101 corridor reflects the serious risks pedestrians face during late-night hours—especially in low-visibility or low-traffic areas. Although not uncommon, nighttime pedestrian crashes are often underreported or delayed, complicating investigations and recovery efforts.
Victims in these cases may not be found immediately, and the lack of witnesses or clear vehicle descriptions can hinder accountability. When victims self-report or appear at hospitals after the fact—as in this case—it becomes even more crucial that proper evidence gathering and legal support follow.
Injured pedestrians often face long physical and financial recoveries, particularly when the responsible driver remains unidentified. Immediate medical care, injury documentation, and legal assistance are critical for securing compensation and ensuring the victim’s needs are met.
Ventura County officials continue to advocate for improved roadway lighting, pedestrian protections near highway interchanges, and greater public awareness about the legal consequences of hit-and-run offenses.
