Update 2 via ABC7:

Eloi Vasquez was killed in a car accident Saturday morning near the University of Southern California.

At about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Vasquez allegedly ran across lanes of traffic on the eastbound 10 Freeway east of Vermont Avenue. A car was driving about 60 mph and struck Vasquez. The driver remained at the scene and told authorities there was no way to avoid him.

Vasquez was pronounced dead at the scene, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Vasquez’s injuries were so gruesome that family members say officers thought he was an older man, until identifying him as the missing freshman soccer player on Monday.
