A straight-A college student was fatally struck by a driver suspected of street racing in Los Angeles, cops and distraught relatives said.
Arian Rahbar, a 21-year-old junior at the University of Southern California, was killed Saturday afternoon while strolling along a marked crosswalk across Jefferson Boulevard, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Rahbar, who had just gotten some food, was sent airborne when he was hit in the south Los Angeles roadway by a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, whose driver had been racing a man in an Infiniti G37, LAPD South Traffic Division Det. Ryan Moreno told the newspaper.

So strap the street racer down and run over them?
If it’s a drag race, my money’s on the Hellcat. More than twice the horsepower.
Ah. This happens all over and has for many decades.
When I was 17 or 18 we’d meet at the White Castle then make our way to the interstate service road where their was less traffic.

And his grade average some how matters?
As far as I can determine, there are no laws in CA these days, so this is OK, right?
Unfortunately there are not many dragstrips left. Generating enough revenue and insurance costs were two issues.
What a weird phrase. Strolling along? Sounds like he deserved to get hit.
It happened in Los “Angeles”, we need to know the Race of the driver to determine if a crime has been committed.
I’m gonna guess the Bruckner.
If you were in Queens, you would have gone from the Castle on Queens Blvd. in Elmhurst to “The Connecting” (part of the BQE) There, the Interstate would have been blocked off behind the racers as they waited for traffic in front to clear the 1/4 mile strip.
“And his grade average some how matters?”
You wouldn’t understand.
Gruesome Newsom and his hospital lackeys just announced the pedestrian died from COVID.
So what ever happened to “Before crossing the street, STOP, LOOK BOTH WAYS and if there are no cars coming then cross”
I think I learned this in the 3rd grade.
how much did the family of the supposed victim
pay USC for admission?
traffic ‘accidents’ are often insurance-scams
Prolly learned not to eat your lunch while crossing a multi-lane thoroughfare as well.
Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right-of-way in California, so they assume that cars will stop for them.
Won’t come back from Deadman’s Crosswalk.
In the mid 50’’s we would find a public street near the airport and block off both ends and drag race, at least until the Cops came.
Racing goes on, on the freeways 24/7 in Southern California. Crazy ass people doing crazy ass driving in traffic.
