A man in his 50s died from injuries he suffered in a hit-and-run crash in Hollywood Thursday morning, April 18.

Officers responded about 1:30 a.m. to the 7100 block of Sunset Boulevard, west of La Brea Avenue, and found the victim in the road, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

A witness told NBC4 the victim “went flying up in the sky” after being struck by the vehicle.

“The (driver) stopped, hesitated, tried to see if he wanted to stop or not and just took off,” witness Victor Rodriguez said.

A good Samaritan was performing CPR when officers arrived, the LAPD said.

The man died at the scene, NBC4 reported.
