LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A young man was killed Friday when an SUV hit him while he was walking on the Harbor (110) Freeway after his vehicle was involved in an accident and became disabled, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The fatal injury occurred about 1:40 a.m. on the northbound 110 Freeway, the CHP reported. Bernabe Basurto, 19, died at the scene, the coroner’s office said.

According to the preliminary investigation, Basurto’s vehicle had been involved in a crash with another vehicle, and he got out, the CHP reported.

“He was walking in the number 2 lane for unknown reasons,” the CHP reported. “A separate vehicle was traveling in the number 3 lane approaching the prior traffic collision. The driver changed lanes to the number 2 lane to avoid hitting the vehicles stopped in the number three lane, and subsequently struck the pedestrian.”

The 60-year-old man driving the 2008 Mazda Tribute that hit Basurto was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, the CHP reported.

@c-man – you are a turd. This person died and all you have to say is you wish he was a Hispanic? Karma has a way of finding people like you. You’re gonna eat your words one day.

Grow up and get a life. Stop blaming other people (race) for your failures.

Wow. I went to middle school with Bernabe (LA Academy). I wasn’t very close to him but i remember who he was. He was a nice, smart and fun guy! When i heard about the tragic accident i was shocked. He was so young and had so much ahead of him. May he rest in peace. Bernabe will always be remembered <3

Bernabe had an accident 3/18/11 at 1:40am because the car in the front didnt had no emergency lights nor no one was inside the vehicle parked in lane 1 ..Bernabe step out to chek the vehicle after the car crashed, to find out there was no one inside the vehicle..Once Bernabe inspected the car an SUV drove the same directions and change lanes to avoid the accident..till comes out the 60 year old ran Bernabe over and killed him at the scene…
