Ben Hur - is just a two lane road, the poor guy wasn’t crossing college dr or I-10
Well obviously he didn't make it. And what's the speed limit? Look, whoever hit him is a POS for leaving the scene, but no one is expecting someone to be standing in the middle of the road in the middle of the night.

Wasn't an unexpected scene to see a couple of cousins drive up on 3 wheelers with guns when they were riding the old railroad tracks behind the school hunting rabbits

Jude was my cousin and like my little brother. Our moms are sisters and we spent every day of our childhood together and he was literally the funniest and most entertaining person I’ve ever known. If you knew him you loved him. Anyone with any info on who hit and killed him please report it. He didn’t deserve to be left in the street dying while some a-hole drove off.

I’ve actually always been very worried that I’d hit someone crossing the street when Ben Hur gets close to Burbank. It’s pitch black and people are flying all over the place. Sometimes you have to put the pedal to the metal just to make a left turn onto Ben Hur, coming from CFA, or coming from those apartments on the other side of Ben Hur. You don’t really have time to look around. You just see that you have a window to get onto Ben Hur, and if you don’t take it within 2-5 seconds, you’ll be waiting a few minutes. They really need to fix up this area, and make it safer for not only pedestrians, but drivers too.
Also, if someone did flash Mr. Jude for him to cross the street, where it’s four laned, then this is a prime example as to why you should never do this, for pedestrians or drivers. It’s extremely dangerous because you don’t know how other people will react, like the person in the black vehicle. No one drives safely over there, myself included a lot of the time.
Very sad situation. I didn’t know Mr. Jude or his gf, but have a lot of mutual friends who knew them, and I’ve been seeing tons of stories and posts on Facebook. Seems like he was a really good person that had a lot of people who loved him. Thoughts and prayers to Mr. Jude’s family and his gf.

Prayers to the family. My cousin was the girl hit by the truck on Jefferson back in January. The guy came forward in her case.

Another example of idiot drivers causing more problems by trying to be "friendly" - if you have the right of way, keep fricking going.

Shouldn’t be too difficult to find this black Range Rover.
Seems like there is a limited number of these in BR (but idk i could be wrong about that just going on my anecdotal experience.) and you would think if you hit someone hard enough to kill them is got to leave some evidence.

I'm guessing a scared young driver. You're almost always never charged for hitting a jaywalker. Run and it's a severe penalty. An illegal killed a guy the other day in kenner with a car. The illegal had no license but waited for police. He was not charged in the man's death. Only charged for no license.
Now had he ran. Different story.
now ... factor in to your analysis, based on the location, time, day that there is a 96.78954% chance the driver was wasted ...and get back to us.

I do not think it will be long before the driver is found. Prayers for his family. Vehicular manslaughter just turned into felony hit and run...I heard he was an incredible father

Glad I traded in my Black Range Rover in September of 2020 or I might be getting a visit from the popo.

I was wondering what became of that tragic accident. Any chance you could update us? I pass that site multiple times per week and always feel so sad for that young girl.
