THE UNSEEN CRIME: Cowardice After a Fatal Crash

A devastating and unforgivable act of cowardice on Van Nuys Boulevard has robbed an unidentified 62-year-old man of his life. In the darkness of early Sunday morning in Sherman Oaks, the Ventura County resident was fatally struck in a hit-and-run crash. The driver, operating a vehicle known for its technology and safety features, chose to flee the scene and abandon a human life, leaving a family searching for answers and demanding justice.

The Black Tesla and The Black Mark on Justice

The tragic incident occurred around 12:05 a.m. Authorities confirmed that the victim, a pedestrian in the roadway, was hit by a southbound black Tesla Model Y. The fact that the vehicle involved was a modern car like a Tesla, equipped with advanced safety and tracking technology, only highlights the moral depravity of the driver’s subsequent actions. They knew they had struck a person; they knew they had caused a fatal injury, yet they chose to accelerate and disappear. This act of cold, calculated self-preservation is an insult to the memory of the deceased and a shocking crime against the community.

An Unidentified Victim, Immeasurable Grief

The most profound tragedy of this case, beyond the crash itself, is the identity of the victim. A 62-year-old Ventura County man’s life was extinguished in the road, and his name has not yet been released. His family is enduring the agonizing, confusing process of loss complicated by a criminal investigation. Their grief is amplified by the knowledge that the person responsible for their pain is free, having prioritized their own legal future over the life they just ended. The LAPD is intensely working the case, urging the community to help identify the driver and the vehicle that fled southbound.

The Plea: End the Silence, Bring Justice

We stand with the grieving family of the 62-year-old victim, demanding that the driver of the black Tesla Model Y immediately come forward and take responsibility. This crime cannot be allowed to stand. We urge anyone who witnessed the crash or saw a southbound black Tesla Model Y with sudden damage in the early hours of Sunday to contact the police immediately. May the community’s demand for justice bring solace to the victim’s family, and may the driver finally be held accountable for the life they ended and the pain they caused.
