VENICE (CBSLA.com) — Police Friday were investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash involving a pedestrian.
The crash happened around midnight near the intersection of Lincoln and Venice boulevards in Venice.
Witnesses told police the man darted into the intersection and was hit by a black Toyota Prius driven by a White female.
"I saw this homeless guy run at an angle into the intersection . . . I don't think he (the driver) could see the homeless guy," witness Bruce Bauer said.
The 33-year-old victim was believed to be a transient, authorities said.
