A pedestrian was struck by an SUV and another vehicle Tuesday morning while crossing a Studio City street and left to die by the motorists, authorities said.
The hit-and-run crash was reported at 5:44 a.m. Tuesday on the 12900 block of Ventura Boulevard, near Coldwater Canyon Avenue, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison told City News Service.
One suspect’s vehicle was described as a black Toyota RAV4, Madison said. It was traveling eastbound on Ventura Boulevard and fled on Van Noord Avenue.
The LAPD later learned that a second eastbound vehicle struck the man when he was down, Officer Tony Im told CNS.
The pedestrian, described as a man in his late 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene, Madison said.
