Detectives are investigating after a 19-year-old who was assaulted in Koreatown died from a head injury.

The victim was identified as Joon Hee Han, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Family members said Han was attacked in late July in the 700 block of South Harvard Boulevard. He fell down and injured his head during the violent altercation.

Video captures fiery, high-speed crash at Southern California intersection

Dashcam video captured the moment a high-speed crash left a pickup truck in flames at a busy intersection in the San Fernando Valley.

The crash happened at Lassen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard in Mission Hills at around 5:09 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Dashcam video from a bystander showed a white Lexus sedan racing past him and slamming into the dark gray Ford pickup truck that was making a left turn.

The high-speed impact sent both cars spinning out of control and slamming into a traffic signal pole behind them. Flames were immediately ignited underneath the truck.

The truck landed on a nearby sidewalk and the white sedan crashed against a wall just outside of a CVS parking lot.

Both vehicles were totaled as a large amount of auto debris was strewn across the busy intersection.

“I saw on my rearview mirror that [the white sedan] was coming so fast, they’re going to hit somebody,” said Seth Gurlal, whose dashcam captured the collision. “They had no regard for anybody.”

Witnesses said bystanders in the area immediately ran over to help the female driver who was injured and trapped inside the burning truck.

“They pulled out a woman but her feet were stuck,” said Rosa Madrigal, a witness. “They pulled it out, but the moment they did, I saw she was bleeding on the side.”

The woman was transported to the hospital where her condition remains unknown on Saturday night.

It’s unclear whether the suspect driver was also injured as the incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information can call the LAPD at 1-877-527-3247.

No major issues reported for night 2 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood

The brand new Intuit Dome in Inglewood remembered to “Leave the Door Open” on Friday night, as the ticketing debacle from the night before was solved and fan waltzed into the new arena for a Bruno Mars concert.

Friday’s concert was the second of two as the pop superstar had the chance to open up the $2 billion arena and home of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Opening night on Thursday was a great show from Mars, by all accounts, but that doesn’t mean it went exactly smoothly.

The unique ticketing systems at the arena, which requires patrons to download the Intuit Dome smartphone app, were down for about 40 minutes before the show. That meant fans couldn’t transfer their tickets from third-party sellers, and the arena’s face scanners, which allows visitors to enter the arena without scanning tickets, were down.

The complications led Mars to start the show nearly two hours after the scheduled time.

But on Friday many of the complications appeared to be ironed out. The “24K Magic” singer started his set on time and the technological issues were held to a minimum.
