An American Airlines A321 aborted its takeoff at Los Angeles International Airport after a cargo Boeing 777 crossed the active runway without authorization, forcing the crew to reject the takeoff and apply maximum braking, the FAA said. Air traffic control and flight crew actions prevented a collision.

Briefing
The event produced a high‑speed rejected takeoff to avoid a collision after an unauthorized runway crossing, mirroring other recent runway incursions that required immediate crew and ATC intervention (see the high-speed rejected takeoff at Mexico City).
It highlights persistent vulnerabilities in ground movement and ATC procedures; comparable ground-control lapses have led to severe outcomes in incidents such as a tug struck on a taxiway at O'Hare and a failure to acknowledge a go‑around during a Singapore runway incursion (O'Hare tug collision, Singapore go‑around issue).
