Bad week for traffic crashes

It's been a really bad week for crashes in the Los Angeles area. Here's one from this morning.

A 32-year-old man was killed while crossing a street in Sylmar after he was struck by a hit-and-run motorist who abandoned his blue Chevrolet Tahoe about two blocks away from where the pedestrian was hit.

Police said the drama began as Joseph Wichmann was crossing Glenoaks Boulevard at Monte Street just after 9 last night outside a crosswalk, near his house. A Tahoe headed south on Glenoaks hit him, sending him 90 feet, officials said. He died at the scene.

The identity of the hit-and-run suspect was not immediately available. He was said to have abandoned his damaged Tahoe with the license plate number of 5ROW149 about two blocks away from the scene before running away, police said.
