One man was killed and one critically injured when they were struck by a vehicle that was involved in a collision with another vehicle while they walked on a sidewalk in the Westlake area of Los Angeles, authorities said Monday.
The collision occurred at about 11:50 p.m. Sunday at Eighth and Alvarado streets, according to a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Operations Center.
A vehicle that was southbound on Alvarado Street collided with a vehicle that was westbound on Eighth Street, the officer said.
The impact sent the southbound vehicle careening onto the sidewalk on the southwest corner of the intersection and into the two men, he said.
Paramedics rushed the injured pedestrians to a hospital where the 45-year-old man was pronounced dead and the other man was listed in critical condition, the officer said.
The status of the two drivers was not available.
