A 15-year-old dad-to-be is dead after he was hit by a car that lost control in Sun Valley Saturday night.

The teen, identified as Carlos in a GoFundMe set up by his family, was standing in the roadway near cars parked at Strathern and White streets when a vehicle headed east on Strathern lost control, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.

The vehicle, which was driven by a 22-year-old man, hit the parked cars and Carlos, who was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, LAPD officials said.

Carlos’ family, meanwhile, is mourning the teen, who “was excited to be a dad to his little boy but unfortunately he passed away.”

Flowers were left at the scene of the crash.
