| Advisory: CHP Conducting Independent Investigation into Deputy Involved Traffic Collision in West Hollywood, @WHDLASD Dear Pepperdine Libboard, Just after 11:00 p.m. Thursday night, October 15, 2015, a deputy involved traffic collision occurred in the city of West Hollywood. A two deputy patrol car from West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station was responding eastbound on Santa Monica Boulevard, with red lights and siren, to a call for service involving a reported domestic assault. Preliminary information indicates, for undetermined reasons, the deputies’ patrol car was involved in a collision with another vehicle in the 8800 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, near the intersection of Palm Avenue. Immediately after the initial collision, the deputies’ patrol car careened onto the sidewalk and struck two pedestrians before coming to rest after striking fixed objects, including a light pole and a tree. Two deputies in the patrol car and the two pedestrians were injured during the collision. All four were transported to local area hospitals for evaluation and treatment. Unfortunately, a short time later one of the pedestrians, who has not yet been identified, succumbed to his injuries. The second male pedestrian sustained serious injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. He is being treated at a local area hospital. Both deputies sustained serious injuries that are being described as non-life-threatening. They are listed in stable condition. The California Highway Patrol’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) is conducting an independent investigation into the causal factors of the collision. Both directions of Santa Monica Boulevard, between San Vicente Boulevard and Hancock Avenue, are closed to all traffic as the investigation continues. The California Highway Patrol anticipates that the road will re-open sometime after 7: 00 a.m. today – Friday, October 16, 2015. There is no further information available at this time.
