A man lost his life after being hit by a vehicle Sunday morning in Van Nuys. The involved driver left the scene and authorities have sought public’s help in identifying the driver.
As per the initial information, the fatal hit-and-run accident took place on Sepulveda Boulevard, north of Victory Boulevard at about 4:10 a.m. on Sunday. The early reports showed that a vehicle was heading southbound on Sepulveda Boulevard north of Victory Boulevard, when it struck the pedestrian who was walking outside of the crosswalk.
The involved driver did not stay at the scene of the crash or render aid to the pedestrian as required by law. The LAPD is now searching for that driver. A Jeep Wrangler was seen, also pulled over on Sepulveda Boulevard facing the northbound part of the road, with its headlights on and next to the pedestrian.
The LAPD is also looking for the driver of that Jeep, to identify them as a witness. The male pedestrian, around 50 years old, was identified, but that identity will be revealed after his next-of-kin are notified of his death. No other details are available.
The incident remains under active review.
