Los Angeles County, CA (JAN, 11Th 2025)- A tragic incident occurred early Friday morning when a 60-year-old man was fatally struck by a vehicle on the Rosemead Boulevard on-ramp to the westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway in Rosemead. The crash, reported at approximately 6:35 a.m., highlights the dangers pedestrians face near freeway entrances and the potential legal complexities for victims and their families.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer Michael Nasir confirmed the fatal crash and identified the deceased as Frank Cherry, according to information provided by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

The Legal Implications and Compensation at Stake
For families who lose loved ones in such tragic accidents, the emotional toll is immense, and the financial burden can be overwhelming. In cases like this, families may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including funeral and burial costs, loss of income, and loss of companionship. Additionally, if negligence played a role in the accident, families could pursue wrongful death claims to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Such claims often require proving that the driver’s actions or inactions contributed directly to the accident. Factors like speeding, distracted driving, or failure to yield to pedestrians can strengthen the compensation case. Working with experienced legal professionals can ensure that victims’ families understand their rights and effectively navigate the legal process.
