A USC freshman died in a fatal freeway collision over the weekend, a few days before he was to start classes, authorities said.
Matthew Olson, 18, was walking south on the 110 freeway near USC early Saturday morning when he was hit by two cars, according to a California Highway Patrol press release.
The driver of the first car that hit him stopped to help before the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.“It is unknown at this time why [Olson] was walking in the freeway lanes,” CHP said in the press release. Olson recently had graduated from Corona del Mar High School, where he played on the basketball and volleyball teams. In 2018, his team won the national championship and earned the Coach’s Award for Hardest Working Player, USC officials said in a statement.
According to USC’s academic calendar, move-in day was Wednesday. Olson would have been studying business at the university.
