LOS ANGELES, CA (January 28, 2019) – A woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle Monday morning on 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.
 
The fatal incident happened just before 5:00 a.m. along the eastbound lanes of the freeway at South Alameda Street.

The crash raised a SigAlert, closing three freeway lanes and the Alameda Street off-ramp heading into downtown for a period of time. One lane was re-opened while the investigation commenced, but the situation caused major traffic backups Monday morning.
