TORRANCE, Calif. (KNX) — Police investigated what appears to be a deadly hit-and-run crash in Torrance Thursday after a truck drove through a fence, nearly smashing into a home.
The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. in the 2700 block of Artesia Boulevard, Torrance Police Department Sgt. Ron Salary said.
Witnesses said a white pickup truck speeding down Artesia Boulevard hit the back of a black pickup truck before barrelling into the fence. The impact killed the driver of that white truck. First responders rushed the driver of the black pickup truck to the hospital.
"The sound of the accident itself is what really got us up," a witness said Thursday. "We heard the initial impact, and then we heard a gentleman screaming."
Police closed Artesia Boulevard between Crenshaw Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue while they investigated, warning drivers to avoid the area for some tie.
