A 21-year-old man who was fatally struck by two hit-and-run motorists in the Granada Hills area was identified Monday.
He was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner as Sebastian Brown.
The crash occurred around 9:50 p.m. Thursday at Devonshire Street and Etiwanda Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“A motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound Devonshire Street from Etiwanda Avenue,” police said in a statement. “As the motorcyclist approached Louise Avenue, he failed to stop for a red tri-light and collided with a vehicle traveling northbound Louise Avenue.”
Police said the motorcyclist was ejected onto westbound lanes of traffic on Devonshire and was hit by a pair of westbound vehicles.
The first vehicle was described as a white SUV, and the second as a white sedan.
“Both (drivers) failed to stop, identify themselves or render aid, as required by law,” police said.
A standing reward of up to $50,000 has been offered by the city of Los Angeles for information that helps solve a fatal hit-and-run.
