The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death of a motorcyclist who was hit by two hit-and-run drivers in Granada Hills Thursday night.
Officers were dispatched to the fatal collision at 9:50 p.m. at the intersection of Devonshire Street and Louise Avenue, according to a police statement.
Arriving officers determined that a motorcyclist in his 20s was traveling eastbound on Devonshire Street and failed to stop at a red light and struck a vehicle traveling northbound on Louise Avenue.
“The motorcyclist was ejected into the westbound lanes of Devonshire as a result of the collision,” the police statement read.
Shortly thereafter, the motorcyclist was struck by a white SUV and a white sedan traveling westbound on Devonshire Street, according to the statement. Police said the drivers of both vehicles failed to stop, identify themselves and render aid as required by law.
Grainy video footage released by the LAPD shows the young motorcyclist lying on the ground trying to get up before the vehicles hit him.
The victim, who could not be identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said they are looking for the two drivers and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.
