A pedestrian was killed and another one suffered a leg injury in a two-vehicle crash on the outskirts of Koreatown, authorities said Sunday.
The crash occurred at about 11:20 p.m. Saturday in the area of Normandie Avenue and 15th Street, according to a watch commander at the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Traffic Division.
A vehicle was traveling southbound on Normandie Avenue when it struck another vehicle that was going westbound on 15th Street. The westbound vehicle then struck two pedestrians who were standing on the southwest corner of the intersection, the LAPD reported.
One of the pedestrians, a 56-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. Paramedics rushed the other victim to a hospital with a leg injury.
Motorists driving both vehicles stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
