Motorcyclist Dies in Early Morning Crash on Southbound 110 Freeway Near USC

Los Angeles, CA (February 7, 2026) — A fatal motorcycle crash on I-110 claimed the life of 58-year-old Perry Hernandez, and shut down multiple lanes of the Harbor Freeway in University Park early Friday morning.

According to authorities, the collision happened around 6:17 a.m. on the southbound 110 Freeway just north of Adams Boulevard, between downtown Los Angeles and the USC campus.

California Highway Patrol officers responded to reports of a motorcycle involved in a serious crash.

The rider, identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office as Hernandez, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators closed four southbound lanes for more than an hour as they examined the crash, triggering heavy traffic delays during the morning commute in both directions. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

When a Fatal Accident Changes Everything

There are no words that can truly capture the pain of losing someone you love in a crash. The grief is deep, the shock is overwhelming, and life can feel completely turned upside down. On top of the emotional heartbreak, many families also find themselves facing sudden financial struggles — from medical bills and funeral costs to the loss of the income and support their loved one once provided.

During moments like these, please remember that you don’t have to carry this burden alone. A wrongful death claim isn’t just about money, it’s about seeking justice, accountability, and support for your family as you begin to heal.

Funeral and burial costs
Medical care from your loved one’s final moments
