Motorcyclist killed, second person injured after violent crash in Van Nuys


A motorcyclist was killed, and another person was injured after a crash with at least one other vehicle in the San Fernando Valley Wednesday night, authorities confirmed to KTLA.

Reports of the deadly collision in the 7000 block of Woodley Avenue, between Hart Street and Sherman Way in Van Nuys, came into the Los Angeles Fire Department around 7:20 pm.

Video footage of the crash’s aftermath captured by Sky5 showed a heavy police presence on the scene as they attempted to piece together exactly how the fatal collision occurred.

The mangled remains of a motorcycle were visible in the middle of the street, with what appeared to be a silver four-door SUV nearby that also sustained heavy damage to the rear and passenger side.

Debris from the crash was also strewn about Woodley Avenue.

Details about the crash are limited and it’s unclear what led up to the fatal incident, but authorities with the Los Angeles Police Department said the SUV driver remained at the scene after the collision.

While authorities confirmed the motorcyclist was deceased, it is unclear if the victim was declared dead at the scene or if they succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.
