Two hit-and-run drivers remain at large after a motorcyclist was struck and killed in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood Saturday morning.
The crash happened near the busy intersection of South Avenue 20 and North Broadway at around 7:40 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
An investigation revealed that a suspect, possibly driving a Ford F-150 truck, ran a red light which caused the motorcyclist to fall off his bike and onto the street.
The suspect did not stop and continued driving away. Seconds later, another oncoming vehicle ran over the victim’s body and also sped away, authorities said.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital where they later died from their injuries.
Residents in the neighborhood said the high-traffic intersection is known for dangerous drivers.
“There are very crazy drivers out here,” said Roman Rodrigues, a resident. “I think they need to slow down because there are children here and schools all around, people leaving. We need a lot more infrastructure here and more traffic officers.”
No suspect descriptions are known as the deadly hit-and-run remains under investigation. Officers are searching the area for surveillance footage of the collision.
The victim’s identity has not been released.
