Introduction

A federal jury has ordered Los Angeles County to pay a $6.5 million settlement to a 16-year-old Torrance high school baseball player killed in a 2017 traffic collision.

As per the lawsuit, the incident took place at 10. pm. on March 7, 2017, near the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Crest Road. The first guy made a U-turn while driving a 2004 Audi southbound on Crenshaw near Silver Spur Road in Rolling Hills Estates and collided with the second guy. The second guy did not stop the car and fled at a high speed.
