Studio City, CA : Man struck, killed after getting out of car on freeway transition road on Saturday, April 16, 2016

A man who was struck by a vehicle and killed after getting out of a car that was involved in a crash on a freeway transition road in Studio City was identified Tuesday by the coroner’s office as 22-year-old Germain Ledesma Moreno of North Hills.

Police said the original collision was reported about 9:35 p.m. Saturday on the transition road from the northbound Hollywood (101) Freeway to the northbound Ventura (101) Freeway.

A California Highway Patrol officer arrived at the scene and was investigating the crash when the victim “for unknown reasons ran away from the collision scene... entering into traffic lanes of the U.S. 101 northbound transition road,” according to a CHP statement.

A 2016 Lincoln MKX driven by a 69-year-old Calabasas woman then struck Moreno, the CHP reported.

Moreno was trapped beneath the Lincoln and pronounced dead at the scene, according to Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A 63-year-old man, also from Calabasas, who was a passenger in the Lincoln MKX was uninjured, according to the CHP.

One other person who was injured in the original crash was taken to a hospital, but that person’s condition was not made available, Stewart said.
