Injuries Reported in Lakewood Pedestrian Accident on Centralia Street and Pioneer Street

LAKEWOOD, CA (December 11, 2023) – Last December 1, Eduardo Villalpando suffered injuries in a startling pedestrian crash on Centralia Street.

The incident happened on Centralia Street and Pioneer Street in Lakewood.

Officers revealed that the victim had just walked a group of children across the street. However, a speeding driver crashed into him.

As Villalpando stood on the corner of Centralia and Pioneer Streets, a speeding Dodge Challenger crashed into a Honda Pilot SUV that was turning left at the intersection.

Then, the impact caused the Challenger to crash into the street corner, through a cement shopping sign, and went into Villalpando who was airborne by the nose of the vehicle.

The impact completely severed the victim’s left leg and his right leg was severely injured. Officers said that he’s currently facing a long road to recovery ahead.

“He’s unable to walk completely right now for about maybe another six to eight weeks,” Robles, the victim’s wife said. “He has a lot of bruising all over his body and fractured ribs on both sides.”

“He saw him bleeding out and right away got a belt and put that on like a tourniquet on his leg so that he could stop bleeding until the paramedics got there,” Robles added. “They don’t think they’re heroes, but they are to us. He has a lot of angels up there looking after him.”

Also, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to help pay the medical expenses as the victim continues his recovery.

At this time, the circumstances that led to the crash remained unclear. Once additional details become available, the public will be notified.

Due to the limited information available, the authorities continued to investigate the crash.
