Man Killed After Being Struck By Three Cars In Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A pedestrian was killed after being struck by three separate cars in Hollywood last Thursday, and police are searching for one of the drivers who fled the scene in a hit-and-run. The crash happened around 9:45 p.m. at the intersection of Wilton Place and Santa Monica Boulevard.

LAPD said the man was crossing the street outside of a crosswalk when he was hit by a red car driving down Wilton Place. The pedestrian was subsequently hit by two more vehicles, one of which stopped briefly before continuing to drive north on Wilton Place.

LAFD paramedics arrived and took the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two of the three drivers stopped at the scene and fully cooperated with the investigation, according to police. The car that fled the scene was described only as a white SUV.

"Drivers are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves," LAPD said.

A reward of up to $50,000 is available for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with knowledge of the incident is asked to call West Traffic Division detectives at 213-473-0234.
