A Southern California pedestrian died after he was struck by three separate vehicles and none of them stopped to help, authorities said.

He was hit about 11:45 p.m. Friday at an intersection roughly 20 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, the city’s police department said in a news release.

The pedestrian was identified only as possibly a Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s.

    Jesus, that’s so horrible.

    With two of the vehicles going the wrong way, it makes me wonder if they were inebriated and maybe this took place near a bar.

    I wish the US had way better public transportation

      The amount of damage alcohol has had on our society cannot be overstated. I’d wager it’s worse than the impact of cigarettes in our history.
