According to the L.A. Police Department, the incident occurred at the end of the school day during pick up at the rear of the campus, when the driver of a green 2025 Rivian SUV reportedly struck a 15-year-old boy as he was walking in between vehicles.
The boy was pinned and possibly crushed between the Rivian and a smaller, white SUV, officials said. LAFD paramedics rushed him, along with his uninjured father who witnessed the terrible accident, to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.

Jesus Fucking Christ. That’s horrific :(
there is speculation that the Rivian’s driver may have inadvertently hit the gas pedal instead of the vehicle’s brakes, leading to a chain reaction and tragic consequences. Investigators, however, have not confirmed that detail.
Or on their phone. Regardless, this is why I don’t trust motorists in school areas around kids!
Rivian…gas pedal?
