Itziar Ramirez, 18—A Young Life Ejected and Lost in Freeway Nightmare

The city of Los Angeles, California, is grieving the devastating, violent loss of two young lives following a horrific single-vehicle rollover crash on Wednesday evening, November 26, 2025. Among the deceased is Itziar Ramirez, just 18 years old. The tragic accident, which occurred around 5:30 p.m. on the westbound Pomona (60) Freeway at the Long Beach (710) Freeway exchange, has shut down lanes and shattered countless hearts.

Ejected and Extinguished: The Cruelty of Freeway Violence

The cruelty of Itziar’s death is defined by the circumstances: a single vehicle rolled over for reasons currently unknown, and Itziar, an occupant, was ejected from the vehicle. Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel pronounced the young victim dead at the scene from multiple blunt-force traumatic injuries. At 18, Itziar’s future was supposed to stretch out bright and limitless. Instead, that promise was violently extinguished on the cold concrete of a busy freeway, leaving a void that is sudden, painful, and deeply unjust.

Double Tragedy: The Grief of an Unidentified Loss

Compounding the community’s sorrow is the loss of a second victim, whose identity has not yet been released, as they died while being transported to a hospital. This dual fatality emphasizes the sheer devastation of the crash. As the California Highway Patrol (CHP) continues its investigation to determine the exact cause, the community holds the grieving families in their thoughts. The sight of the westbound lanes shut down for over three hours symbolized the stop of life and the immense gravity of the sorrow now facing two families.
