A Compass Airlines Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N638CZ performing flight CP-5700/DL-5700 from Los Angeles,CA to Kansas City,MO (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from Los Angeles' runway 25R when about 31 seconds after the takeoff clearance the controller with heightened voice instructed "Cancel Takeoff Clearance, Hold Position". The crew rejected takeoff at high speed and vacated the runway about 2100 meters/6900 feet down the runway and stopped on the turn off. Tower explained that a vehicle had entered the runway, they didn't know who he was and were working to ensure that he wouldn't do it again.

The Airport reported an Airport employee had mistakenly turned onto the runway from a taxiway. He had not been certified to drive near the runway, his license to drive airside was rescinded.

The FAA opened an investigation.

The ERJ-175 was able to depart about 40 minutes later and reached Kansas City with a delay of 30 minutes.
