LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Nov. 28, 2023) – A mother died and her 8-year-old daughter remains hospitalized after a Thanksgiving Day pedestrian accident near a bus stop on 83rd Street in South Los Angeles.

The deadly collision occurred at around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23rd at 1758 W. 83rd St., just east of Western Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. A female driver was exiting a liquor store parking lot when it was struck by a second vehicle.
