Pacoima Hit-And-Run Kills One Driver In Parked Car
A hit-and-run crash in Pacoima early on December 9, 2018, killed one person and injured another.
According to ABC-7, this collision happened around 3:20AM between Branford and Telfair. Allegedly, the driver of a Chevy pickup was traveling east on Branford when s/he suddenly lost control of the truck and crashed into a parked car.
Unfortunately, a man was sleeping inside the parked vehicle at the time of the crash. When safety crews arrived on the scene, they soon pronounced this crash victim dead from his injuries.
