A man believed to be about 50 years old was killed in a hit-and-run crash early Monday when he was struck by a car while crossing a Sylmar street.
The crash was reported at 12:48 a.m. at Hubbard Street and Foothill Boulevard, according to a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Operations Center.
The man, who may have been homeless, was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The vehicle was described as a dirty silver sedan, according to a FOX11 report from the scene. The driver reportedly pulled into a gas station to dislodge the victim from underneath the car.
