And you think your Monday morning is shitty…
A 21-year-old man in Bakersfield tried to cross the 405 last night after a car accident and didn’t make it.
The man, whose name has not been released, had crashed his 2007 Honda into the center divider on the 405 near the Seal Beach Boulevard overpass, according to a report by CHP Officer T. Steaffens.
He was struck at about 1 a.m. as he attempted to walk across the southbound lanes, the CHP reported. Orange County paramedics pronounced the man dead where he landed in the HOV lane at 1:30 a.m., according to the CHP report.
In Long Beach, the aunt who survived a fire in which her three nieces and nephews were killed in, was wounded Friday night in a shooting.
The 21-year-old woman, whom police have not yet identified, was standing near the burned detached garage at 1052 1/2 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. when she was shot in the lower leg, according to Officer Jackie Bezart, spokeswoman for the Long Beach Police Department. She was not at the apartment at the time of the fire early Friday, Bezart said.
Fire officials suspect the blaze was started by a space heater in the back room of the garage, which had been illegally converted into an apartment. That blaze started early Friday as the girls and a 17-year-old aunt slept in a small, windowless room.
That aunt was able to escape unharmed and call for help. Stephanie Aviles, 6, and her sister Jasmine, 10, died Friday and sister Jocelin, 7, died Saturday.
