IRWINDALE -

The 605 Freeway can be downright deadly. Saturday was a horrific reminder of just how fatal this part of our world truly is. Two men died when they were hit by a passing car when they were attempting to change a tire in the Irwindale area....

So sad to see these type of accidents...

Killed were Pedro Pedroza, 43, of Azusa and Ricardo Beltran, a West Covina (age not available).  They both  died at the scene.  It is being reported that the men were actual related (uncle and nephew).


According to logs from the California Highway Patrol's website (a great resource for every motorist here in the Golden State) the accident was reported at 11:13 a.m. on the southbound 605 Freeway, just south of Arrow Highway.

The men had just finished changing a tire and were putting away their tools when they were struck by a Ford Taurus.  Pedroza died at the scene, and Beltran passed away from his injuries at County USC Hospital.  No arrests were made.

Such a tragedy for this family.  I hope everyone can keep them in your Prayers.  Remember, if you have a problem on the freeway like a flat tire, the best solution is to call 911. Do not attempt to change the tire yourself.  Remain calm. Be safe.

I was on the 605. Your so correct. This is a very deadly part of the freeway. The SPEEDING here is totally out of control going southbound from the 210.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
