Los Angeles, CA (September 21, 2024) – On September 21, two separate vehicle collisions occurred on Woodman Avenue, both of which prompted emergency responses and disrupted traffic in the Van Nuys neighborhood. The first incident involved a hit-and-run collision that left a cyclist injured, while the second crash, involving three vehicles, happened nearby shortly after the first.
The initial hit-and-run occurred earlier in the day, with a cyclist struck by a vehicle on Woodman Avenue. According to initial reports, the driver involved fled the scene before authorities could arrive. Emergency personnel were called to the scene to assist the injured cyclist, while police began their investigation to locate the driver responsible. Witnesses in the area provided details to officers, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward to aid in identifying the hit-and-run suspect.
Just hours later, a second crash was reported near the intersection of Woodman Avenue and Bessemer Street. This multi-vehicle collision involved three cars and led to a partial road closure. Firetrucks were seen at the scene, along with police officers and witnesses who stayed to provide statements. Emergency services were quick to respond, ensuring the safety of those involved in the collision. While the severity of the injuries in the second crash is not yet confirmed, witnesses reported that one of the vehicles sustained significant damage. Traffic on Woodman Avenue was partially blocked as authorities worked to clear the scene, with one of the vehicle’s alarms malfunctioning and continuing to sound, adding to the commotion.
We hope all the injured victims make a timely and complete recovery.
