A westbound vehicle on Manchester struck the scooter, which was heading the same direction, police said. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was later identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner as Gregory Vaughn Simpson. His city of residence was not provided.
A vehicle description was not immediately available.
