2 Children Injured, 1 Man Killed in Separate Auto vs. Pedestrian Incidents

Another day, another pedestrian accident? A 60-year-old man was killed last night around 6 p.m. in Van Nuys when he was hit by a vehicle involved in a car crash. "A car was making a left from Sepulveda onto Lanark Street when it collided with an on-coming vehicle," explained the LA Times via the LAPD. "That car careened off the road and struck the pedestrian." Then this morning, two 12-year-old boys in North Hollywood were struck by a car and air lifted to children's hospital with moderate injuries. The conditions surrounding the incident near the 5 Freeway and Laurel Canyon were not immediately known.

These incidents are becoming rampant. I almost got it in the parking lot of B of A. Its time to stay off the streets.

This is yet another example of why we need to be sure that LADOT increases the speed limits in the valley. If the cars go a high enough speed maybe we could count on pedestrian fatalities to keep over population problems in check.

It would be our own little version of Death Race 2000.
