In a tragic traffic collision in Sun Valley, a 65-year-old man was killed while turning left onto Saticoy Street. The incident occurred when two LAPD officers, responding to a domestic violence call with sirens and lights activated, collided with his vehicle. Emergency crews pronounced the man dead after extricating him from the wreck. Fortunately, the officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital. The intersection lacks a traffic signal, although there is a stop sign on Cleon Avenue, raising concerns about the safety of the area.
The man, who was about 65, was turning left from Cleon Avenue onto Saticoy Street when the collision occurred at 2 p.m. Saturday.
The two officers were headed east on Saticoy Street with their siren and lights on, responding to a call about a violation of a restraining order for domestic violence.
Emergency personnel extricated the man from the vehicle, and he was pronounced dead. His name was not given.
The two officers were transported to a hospital for their injuries, which were not life-threatening, according to LAPD spokesperson Tony Im.
