A man killed in a two-vehicle crash in Pacoima was identified Monday as a Sylmar resident.
Robert Zapata was 43 years old, coroner’s Investigator Kristy McCracken said. The crash was reported about 8:30 a.m. Sunday in the 10100 block of North San Fernando Road, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The vehicle driven by the man now identified as Zapata went through a fence onto the Whiteman Airport property and was trapped in the wreckage. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The vehicle driven by a 73-year-old woman wound up on Metrolink tracks, he said. Train service along the Antelope Valley line was temporarily suspended while the vehicle was pushed off the tracks. The woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition, Humphrey said.
