31-year-old man ejected, killed in Koreatown crash
A 31-year-old man was killed in a late-night crash at Vermont Avenue and 1st Street in Koreatown, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The collision was reported around 10:21 p.m. Wednesday after California Highway Patrol officers were flagged down at the scene of what was initially described as an overturned vehicle, police said. Preliminary information from LAPD indicates a vehicle traveling northbound on Vermont Avenue collided with a second vehicle heading eastbound on 1st Street. The impact caused one of the vehicles to overturn. The 31-year-old man inside the second vehicle was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed a person was declared dead in the 3500 block of West 1st Street following what was classified as an expanded traffic collision. Two other occupants of the same vehicle — a 23-year-old driver and a 21-year-old passenger — were transported to a hospital in stable condition. Authorities have not said whether speed, drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.
