A Southern California pedestrian died after he was struck by three separate vehicles and none of them stopped to help, authorities said.

He was hit about 11:45 p.m. Friday at an intersection roughly 20 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, the city’s police department said in a news release.

The pedestrian was identified only as possibly a Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s.

    The amount of damage alcohol has had on our society cannot be overstated. I’d wager it’s worse than the impact of cigarettes in our history.

      I’d wager the amount of damage car-dependent zoning has done is even worse than that.

        second hand snoke is bad, the difference is that smoke generally doesnt cause sudden immediate damage, generally long term one unless you somehow got injured by the flames
