Identity of Pedestrian Fatally Struck in Lancaster Revealed [Los Angeles, CA]

A tragic incident involving a pedestrian fatally struck by a vehicle in Lancaster has left the community mourning. Authorities have identified the victim as 55-year-old Lashon Bailey, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office.

The fatal crash occurred around 7:40 p.m. on Monday at the intersection of Avenue J and Dale Avenue. Preliminary investigations by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed that a white Honda was traveling westbound on Avenue J while the pedestrian was walking southbound across the street in an unmarked crosswalk. The circumstances surrounding the collision remain unclear.

“At this time, it is unknown if the driver or the pedestrian had the right of way,” a sheriff’s department statement noted. Investigators are also working to determine whether alcohol, drugs, or excessive speed contributed to the accident.

The community is urged to come forward with any information that could aid the investigation. Witnesses are encouraged to contact traffic investigators at the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466.
