The Los Angeles Police Department was asking for the public’s help Thursday locating a car involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash in Van Nuys.

The crash was reported around 11:40 p.m. on Oct. 30 in the area of Van Nuys Boulevard and Delano Avenue, according to LAPD. The vehicle was southbound on Van Nuys when it hit a bicyclist crossing south of Delano.

On Thursday, the LAPD released a video of the vehicle, described as a newer-model silver or gray Toyota sedan.

The bicyclist became trapped under the sedan as a result of the collision, and the driver allegedly continued southbound on Van Nuys for more than a mile with the victim trapped underneath. According to LAPD, the car made a left south of Burbank Boulevard, where the victim finally became dislodged.

The suspect allegedly continued south on Van Nuys toward Hatteras Street and made no attempts to stop.

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene. His identity was not immediately released.

Anyone with additional information was encouraged to call Officer Krueger at 818-644-8028.
