[01-24-2021] Los Angeles, CA – One Person Killed After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Pomona

An unidentified 41-year-old man from South Gate was killed while three others were injured after a multi-vehicle traffic collision in Pomona on Sunday morning, January 24.

The deadly accident took place on 10 Freeway near Kellogg Drive off-ramp in Pomona at approximately 12:00 a.m. A 2013 Chevrolet Malibu reportedly rear-ended a disabled 2018 Honda Accord in the number four lane on the westbound 10 Freeway.

The impact caused the Honda to move into the 41-year-old South Gate man and two other people that left their vehicle. A westbound 2016 Chevrolet Cruze then later crashed into the Chevrolet Malibu.

Unfortunately, the 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were seriously injured as a result of the crash. They were immediately taken to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center.

The driver of the Chevrolet Malibu left the scene before local authorities arrived. Local authorities are actively pursuing the hit-and-run driver.
Witnesses that can give more information about the accident are urged to contact CHP Officer J. Gruidl (626-338-1164).

Multi-vehicle collisions are a type of car accident that typically involves three or more vehicles. This type of car accident is commonly caused by a “chain reaction,” when one car bumps into another, which causes the other to hit the next vehicle. Multi-vehicle collisions are commonly caused by drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving.
