Police say the male pedestrian was first hit by a driver going eastbound on Victory Boulevard near Willis Avenue. That driver stopped to help, the LAPD said.
When the pedestrian tried to get out of the street, officials say a second vehicle — described as a possible red Cadillac — going northbound on Cedros Avenue struck him, dragging him under the car for a few blocks before leaving the area.
The male pedestrian died at the scene, police said. More details about his identity, including his age, were not immediately available.
The investigation into the second collision is ongoing. The LAPD said it is not investigating the first crash.
