An autopsy was pending Saturday on the body of a man who was killed when he apparently jumped in front of a car on the westbound 91 Freeway in Bellflower, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The fatal crash occurred about 7:30 p.m. Friday, east of Bellflower Boulevard, according to the CHP.
Quinn Luckett, 20, died at the scene, coroner’s officials said. He was listed as a Bellflower resident at the coroner’s office, though CHP officials said he was from Whittier.
He was reported by a motorist to be running north across eastbound lanes of the 91, then jumped over the center divider to the westbound side of the freeway and “hesitated” as a westbound silver Honda Accord approached, a CHP investigator said in a statement.
“The pedestrian intentionally jumped into the path of the Honda, and as a result sustained fatal injuries,” the investigator’s statement said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene by county fire paramedics.
The driver of the Honda, a 22-year-old Long Beach woman, was not injured or arrested. An investigation was continuing, according to the CHP.
I knew ouinn he lived at the same boarding care as I and didn’t need to go out that way u will be missed!!!
I went to high school with Quinn and were pretty good friends. We kind of grew apart since we went to different schools but still kept in touch every now and then. I’m devestated to hear about this. I’ll forever miss him. Love you Quinn!
What a horrible thing. I feel so sorry for the girl that hit him with her car. She’ll carry this tragedy for the rest of her life!
I lived at the same board and care with Quinn. He was a very nice and likeable person who will be truly missed.
I would like to give my condolences to the entire family.
I am deeply sorry for their loss.
Sincerely,
Dionne Durnil
