Three Deadly Two‑Wheeler Crashes Under Investigation

Three separate deadly two‑wheeler incidents are under investigation. In Panorama City, a man in his early 30s riding a motorized scooter was struck just after 9:30 p.m. near Woodman Avenue and Strathern Street by a gray Honda whose driver fled; a second vehicle later hit the victim and LAPD is offering up to $50,000 for information. In Ottawa County, deputies found a 24‑year‑old motorcyclist dead in a ditch on Leonard Street near 129th Avenue Saturday morning after the bike left the road; his identity is being withheld pending family notification. On the Pacific Coast Highway in Harbor City, a 35‑year‑old motorcyclist was killed after a westbound silver van turned left in front of him, causing him to lose control and be struck by an older‑model pickup; both drivers fled and the rider was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities in the Los Angeles cases are urging witnesses to contact LAPD traffic investigators or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers, and officials in the Ottawa County case have provided similar contact points as they seek information to identify fleeing drivers.
