The California Highway Patrol says L.A. Fire Department recruit Jacob Fuerte was outside his Jeep after colliding with a sedan when he was struck and killed in a multicar crash.

A Los Angeles Fire Department recruit fatally struck on the 101 Freeway early Monday morning was initially involved in a two-car collision before exiting his vehicle and being hit, a California Highway Patrol collision report has confirmed. Jacob Fuerte, 22, of Riverside was killed just after 5 a.m. on the northbound side of the freeway at Campo De Cuehenga , south of the Vineland Avenue offramp in Studio City, according to the CHP report.

A couple in their 60s and another unknown driver were also injured in the series of collisions. Los Angeles fire officials arrived at the scene, where they declared Fuerte dead. The California Highway Patrol, which had begun investigating the incident as a potential criminal hit-and-run case, has since dropped that investigation, according to City News Service. A call and email to the CHP’s West Valley office was not immediately returned.
