Bellflower, CA:
A local man identified as Quinn Luckett, age 20, was killed after he apparently jumped in front of a car on the westbound 91 Freeway Friday night at around 7:30 p.m. The accident shut down the freeway for several hours.
Luckett was listed as a Bellflower resident at the coroner's office, but the California Highway Patrol said he actually lives in Whittier. Tonight, I want to send my thoughts and prayers to those who knew this young man.
A motorist called 911 and reported that Luckett was running north across eastbound lanes of the 91 then jumped over the center divider to the westbound side of the freeway and was struck by a silver Honda Accord.
CHP is reporting that Luckett "intentionally jumped" into the path of the Honda, and his injuries resulted in his death. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics and an investigation is pending.
No arrests were made, and the driver of the Honda who struck Luckett is reported to be a 22-year-old Long Beach woman who was not injured or arrested.

I was on the 91 Freeway when this happened. I am Praying for the family of this young man. Very sad to learn that he was only 20 years old.
I hope we can all keep Quinn in our thoughts and prayers today.
Sorrie but Im the one who was driving the silver honda accord.
To the person who left the note that they were driving the Silver Honda: Can you tell my readers more about the accident? How are you doing? This must have been a horrific situation. My heart goes out to you today!

I knew Quinn's family very well and they are devestated. Quinn was diognozed with schizophrenia a few months ago. I knew him when he was the most friendly, smart, talented young man around. After learning of his death, it makes me take schizophrenia much more seriously.
