Sherman Oaks, CA (February 13, 2025) – A pedestrian sustained severe injuries after being struck by a vehicle Tuesday night in Sherman Oaks.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the collision occurred at approximately 9:53 p.m. in the 14700 block of West Ventura Boulevard. Officers from the LAPD Van Nuys Division and emergency personnel from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) arrived at the scene and provided immediate medical assistance. Firefighters transported the injured adult to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Authorities closed a portion of Ventura Boulevard while LAPD’s Valley Traffic Division conducted an on-site investigation, taking measurements and reviewing evidence. The driver involved remained at the scene and is reportedly cooperating with law enforcement.

As of Wednesday afternoon, no updates on the pedestrian’s condition had been released. The investigation remains ongoing as officials work to determine the cause of the collision.

Our thoughts are with the injured individual, and we hope for a full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in California

Pedestrian accidents are a serious concern in busy metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, where heavy traffic and high foot traffic increase the likelihood of collisions. Intersections and major roadways, such as Ventura Boulevard, are common locations for these incidents, especially at night when visibility is lower.

Severe pedestrian injuries can result in long-term medical challenges, including rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise caution in pedestrian-heavy areas. However, factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and low-light conditions often contribute to these crashes.

To improve pedestrian safety, city officials continue to promote better infrastructure, such as improved crosswalks and enhanced lighting. Pedestrians are also encouraged to remain vigilant, use designated crossings, and wear reflective clothing when walking at night.
