The Los Angeles Fire Department officials along with medical personnel responded to the scene. Efforts to save the boy’s life were futile. Sadly, Trejo was declared dead at the scene.
Authorities confirmed that the SUV driver, only identified as a 43-year-old woman, remained at the scene and was cooperative.
To give way to an on-scene investigation, officials closed Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard briefly.
The incident remains under active investigation.
Peter Lazarus, an experienced attorney at the Pacific Attorney Group, says that distracted drivers cause most of the pedestrian accidents.
“A driver who is talking to a passenger or who is texting while driving or talking on the phone may not see a pedestrian until it is too late. Additional causes may include defective auto parts, such as faulty brakes that prevent a driver from stopping at an intersection to allow a pedestrian to cross the street,” says Lazarus.
