Two separate vehicle crashes left three people dead in the San Fernando Valley this week. Two of the victims were in wheelchairs.
About 8 p.m. Friday, a motorist traveling south in North Hollywood on Lankershim Boulevard near Strathern Street struck and killed a 60-year-old man crossing the street in a wheelchair, Officer Chavez said. The man died at the scene.
The crash occurred outside a facility operated by LA Family Housing, a nonprofit agency that provides housing and services for homeless people. Chavez said it was not known if the man was homeless. Leo Dagga, who works at a convenience store across the street, said the victim had come in for a bag of chips. He said the victim had not crossed in a crosswalk.
“He came every three or four days to the shop,” Dagga said. “I thought he lived in the shelter. Every month some accident happens. I’m not sure what the problem is but there are lots of accidents on this street.”At least 15 collisions serious enough for the police to be called in have taken place this year within blocks of the North Hollywood crash scene, resulting in four deaths, according to LAPD figures.
