Won Ho Song, 29, a passenger in a car driven by Yeun Gun Song, 24, also of Los Angeles, reportedly jumped from the car about 7:20 p.m. as it was traveling westbound on the freeway, just east of Brookhurst Street in Westminster, a California Highway Patrol official said. The victim landed in the far right-hand lane and was struck by a car that did not stop.
Officials did not know why Song jumped from the car or if he was related to the driver.
