Los Angeles, CA (May 28, 2025) – A motorcyclist was killed Tuesday evening in a violent crash involving a car at a busy Westchester intersection, prompting a large police response and road closures in the area.
According to reports, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the crash just before 5:45 p.m. on May 27 at the intersection of Centinela Avenue and Alvern Street, near the Playa Summit apartment complex. When officers arrived, they found a motorcyclist who had died at the scene from injuries sustained in the collision.
Footage shared on the Citizen App showed a significant police presence and a canopy covering the deceased rider near the crosswalk. A helmet could be seen resting outside the tent. Though medical teams from the Los Angeles Fire Department also responded, no one was transported to a hospital, suggesting the motorcyclist was the sole fatality and any other injuries were either minor or treated at the scene.
LAPD’s Pacific Division is actively investigating how the crash occurred. Authorities spent several hours documenting the scene, interviewing witnesses, and attempting to locate surveillance footage from the area.
