California Highway Patrol responded to a call concerning a traffic accident on the 210 Freeway in La Crescenta that involved a pedestrian being struck. 

“On March 3 at about 10:03 p.m., CHP Altadena received a notification from the Los Angeles Regional Traffic Management Center of a vehicle versus pedestrian on the Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway) eastbound at the La Crescenta Avenue on-ramp.
