RIP ASHLEY BURNHAM (May 26, 1984 – April 17, 2021)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 8:45 p.m.

The decedent was hit by at least two vehicles while running from the center divider into the No. 1 lane of the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway in Inglewood.

The incident happened at around 8:30 p.m. on the southbound freeway, south of Arbor Vitae Street, where Burnham ran from the center divider into the No. 1 lane, in a westerly direction and was struck by a 1999 Land Rover Ranger Rover — and then a 2015 Nissan Altima.

Both people in the two vehicles pulled over and were cooperative during the California Highway Patrol’s investigation.
