Los Angeles, CA – Pedestrian Injured in LAX Terminal Accident
Los Angeles, CA (September 1, 2022) – A pedestrian was left significantly injured following a motor vehicle accident in LAX. Just after 9:50 a.m., on August 31, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a crash that occurred at the Los Angeles airport.
LAFD reports indicate that a van struck two pedestrians near Terminal 1 at the airport during the morning hours. The van then continued forward and crashed into a structure near the terminal for Southwest Airlines.
One pedestrian was transported to a regional hospital, where they were admitted in fair condition. The victim was identified as an adult male. The driver of the van was also injured in the accident and had to be transported to a local hospital.
The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating this pedestrian accident.
We hope the two victims who were hurt as a result of this accident are able to recover quickly.
Pedestrian Accidents in California
A pedestrian accident can change your life indefinitely. Unfortunately, thousands of people across California are left with significant injuries following pedestrian crashes each year.
There are many instances where these accidents are a result of drivers who choose to engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles. Meeting factors and pedestrian accidents that we see here in Southern California include:
- motorists who are impaired by alcohol while driving
- motorists who are intoxicated by drugs while behind the wheel
- motorists who are using their cell phones to talk or text while operating their vehicles
- drivers who are aggressive
Pedestrians are far more vulnerable than most other victims sharing the road. As a result, they are likely to suffer traumatic injuries that require extensive treatment. Pedestrians often have to go through months of therapy and rehabilitation in the aftermath of their accidents.
