A Lyft driver was killed early New Year’s Day when an allegedly drunken driver hit his car broadside, police said.

The crash occurred just before 3 a.m. at 120th Street and Doty Avenue, Hawthorne police Lt. Ti Goetz said.

Police suspect Arturo Martinez Conchas, 21, of Hawthorne was driving drunk when his red 2003 Infiniti coupe crashed into a black 2015 Ford Fusion driven by Thor Anderson, 21, of Torrance.

Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene.

A police statement on the crash did not indicate whether Anderson had a passenger.

Officers from the South Bay Driving Under the Influence Task Force, on patrol for New Year’s Eve and the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, responded to the crash. Conchas was given a DUI exam and arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol and possession of illegal drugs, Goetz said.

After a checkup at a hospital, Conchas was booked into the Hawthorne jail. He was held on $100,000 bail.

“The Hawthorne Police Department extends its condolences to the family and friends of the victim,” Goetz said.

Lyft offers ride-hailing services to customers through a mobile app. The firm recently was approved to offer pickups at Los Angeles International Airport.

Police suggested before the holiday that party guests use taxis and services like Lyft and Uber to avoid drinking and driving.

Anderson’s Facebook page showed he was from Fayetteville, North Carolina, studied at Los Angeles Harbor College in Wilmington and lived in Torrance. He also was a driver for Postmates, a courier service.

On Dec. 23, he posted a photograph of himself in his car when an NBC4 reporter interviewed him about Lyft’s new service at LAX.

“This is jobs for a lot of drivers,” he said.

Anderson posted other photos of his car and himself driving and, on Thursday, posted a photo of a card to his girlfriend, “wishing my love a Happy New Year.”

About noon Friday, Shannon Collins responded on her own page with a photo of a red heart at the center of an angel’s wings.

“I’ll miss you,” she wrote, adding an emoji of a broken heart.

Lyft spokeswoman Paige Thelen issued a statement about Anderson’s death late Friday.

“Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones affected by this tragic accident,” she said. “Thor was an important member of the Lyft community and we are very saddened to hear this news. We will support authorities in the ongoing investigation and help in any way we can.”
