http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hit-and-run-twice-20180411-story.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fktla5%2Fvideos%2F10156564307649614%2F&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=video
A vigil for the victim of a fatal hit-and-run crash in South L.A. Wednesday afternoon was broken up in dramatic fashion by yet another hit and run that was captured on video.
As pedestrians and bicyclists gathered at Manchester and Normandie avenues to mourn a bicyclist who was fatally struck by a car just a day and a half earlier, a gold-colored sedan barreled through the intersection and hit a man crossing the street, sending his body flying through the air, video from KTLA-TV Channel 5 showed.
The vehicle had run a red light and did not stop after hitting the pedestrian. The collision occurred about 1 p.m.
Police said no one had been taken into custody in connection with the crash and the injured pedestrian was taken to the hospital.
The fact that a KTLA news camera was at the intersection was not coincidental. Mourners had gathered at the location after a bicyclist was hit by an SUV there in the previous hit and run, said Officer Luis Garcia.
The vehicle in that incident was described as a white Porsche Cayenne. The driver has not been taken into custody, Garcia said. The investigation into both crashes is ongoing.
