Hollywood, CA (September 4, 2024) – On Wednesday, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Michael Miller, 50, was tragically struck and killed by a vehicle on the northbound Hollywood (101) Freeway near Vermont Avenue, just south of Hollywood.
Accident Details: According to the California Highway Patrol, officers responding to the scene discovered Miller lying in one of the lanes. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The freeway was shut down for several hours following the accident as authorities worked to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that a thorough investigation is required. Limited information is currently available regarding the exact circumstances of the accident. However, several critical factors must be investigated to determine liability, including whether the driver was speeding, committing other traffic violations, driving impaired, or distracted. Additionally, investigators should consider whether the vehicle involved experienced mechanical failures and whether poor road conditions contributed to the crash.
If it is determined that negligence played a role in this tragic incident, Michael Miller’s family may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim.
My deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Michael Miller during this heartbreaking time.
