A hit-and-run driver is sought in a crash that killed a 70-year-old man who was in a crosswalk when he was struck last month by a pickup in the Manchester Square area.
Adolph Lyons was killed at about 9:35 p.m. on Jan. 27 as he walked in a crosswalk at Manchester and Van Ness avenues, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office and the Los Angeles Police Department.
A vehicle traveling east on Manchester Avenue turned left onto northbound Van Ness Avenue and collided with the victim.
The vehicle was described as a dark-colored, early-model truck with tinted windows.
A standing reward of up to $50,000 has been offered by the Los Angeles City Council for information that helps authorities solve a fatal hit-and-run. Anyone with information on the case was urged to call LAPD South Traffic Division detectives at 323-421-2500; the watch commander at 323-421-2570; 877-LAPD-247; or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
