A 56-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed by a car Feb. 14 in Los Angeles’s Chinatown by a suspected DUI driver, with a second vehicle possibly involved, KTLA reported.
The predawn incident took place on the 600 block of North Broadway between Hill and Spring streets, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service. Police responding to the scene around 2:30 a.m. found the man in the street and declared him dead.
