A woman is dead after she was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Sun Valley early Saturday morning.

Just before 4 a.m., a blue 2015 Nissan Versa traveling north on Lankershim Boulevard near Cayuga Avenue collided with the back end of a semi-truck, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Versa overturned after striking the back of the truck, which then fled the scene, police said.

The driver of that first car, a 26-year-old woman, was declared dead at the scene. Police initially indicated she was 27 years old before later providing an update.

Footage shared to the Citizen app showed the Versa overturned at the scene.
