A 70-year-old man died Monday afternoon after he was involved involved in a crash with a Los Angeles Police Department cruiser.
The crash happened around 2 p.m., on the 10900 block of West Saticoy St in Sun Valley, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Video from Sky5 showed a silver Honda sedan with major damage on the driver’s side, and an LAPD Ford Interceptor SUV vehicle with significant front end damage.
The Fire Department responded to the scene and transported two LAPD officers to a local hospital for treatment; their conditions were not disclosed.
The driver of the Honda, a 70-year-old man, was trapped inside and was ruled “beyond medical help and deceased,” by paramedics.
As of 3 p.m., emergency responders remained on the scene, and Saticoy Street was closed between Vineland and Riverton avenues. A timeline for when the road would reopen was not released.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner was called to the scene to assist in the ongoing investigation.
