Pedestrian dead after being struck by vehicle in Southern California parking lot
The Los Angeles Police Department confirms that one person is dead after being struck by a vehicle in a parking lot in Van Nuys.
The incident occurred around 2:05 p.m. in the 6900 block of North Sepulveda Boulevard, which appears to be the address of an apartment building.
Authorities say the female driver was pulling out of a parking space outside the building when an object became lodged between the gas pedal and the floorboard, causing her to lose control of the vehicle.
Two pedestrians were walking in the parking lot at the time and the driver struck both individuals, dragging one of the victims onto the street before coming to a stop.
LAPD confirms the pedestrian who was dragged onto the street died at the scene. The second victim is in hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive.
