Hawthorne: A man died after he tried to hit people on a sidewalk with his truck, crashed against a building and then was pulled out and beaten by the group in Southern California, authorities said.
The man was asked to leave a business in Hawthorne early Saturday and then argued with someone while walking to his truck, said Lt. Hugo Reynaga of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The man then intentionally drove the truck onto the sidewalk, nearly hitting a group of patrons before his truck wedged against a tree, the Daily Breeze reported.
As the patrons tried to take the man out of the driver’s seat, he accelerated again and hit the corner of a nearby building, Reynaga said.
The patrons took the driver out of the truck and continued fighting with him as Hawthorne police arrived, sheriff’s Deputy Grace Medrano said.
The driver suffered blunt-force trauma, Medrano said. He died at the scene.
The incident was captured on surveillance video, but the footage was grainy and the fight occurred behind the truck partially out of view, Reynaga said.
“You could see there was a fight going on, but you couldn’t tell who was doing what,” he told the newspaper.
Most of the people involved in the fight were interviewed by detectives and then released, pending the result of an autopsy.

I wonder if drugs and/or alcohol.had anything to do with it?
More like sidewalk justice.
LA.....such a sweet neighborhood. /S
Repeatedly.
Well, C’mon Man; it’s just possible that someone will submit a video showing that a copper jumped in and put his knee on the middle of the guy’s back (i.e., GFloyd video and testimony showed that the copper’s knee was NOT on his neck) until he died.
Anybody want to place a bet?
Blows to the cranium with each one becoming stronger than the processor may have caused the death.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
The MSM will just reuse the GFloyd video.
Good detective work!
Easy guess since everyone dies of covid now. Fun fact, the death totals in countries did NOT rise the last 2 years. They just moved numbers from one column to another.
Anyone know the RACE(S) of the driver ,and the murdering mob?
Melguin Lopez Santos, 40, of Los Angeles. and the crowd similar. Sounds like he was drunk, as was the murdering crowd.
I’m amazed the cops didn’t arrest all of them seeing how, in America, we don’t beat people to death in the street like dogs, like they do in Messico, now south LA
