A bicyclist was killed in a hit-and-run collision in North Hollywood and police Tuesday were searching for the driver who hit him.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood station responded at 10:56 p.m. Monday to Lankershim Boulevard south of Arminta Street, where they learned that a silver, older-model Dodge Ram pickup was traveling south on Lankershim when it struck the bicyclist and continued heading south without stopping to render aid or report the collision, LAPD Officer Charles Miller told City News Service.
Los Angeles Fire Department personnel took the bicyclist — a 52-year-old man whose place of residence was not immediately available — to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His named was withheld pending family notification.
The LAPD’s Valley Traffic Bureau was in charge of the investigation, Miller said.
