VERNON, Calif. (Oct. 22, 2025) — A bicyclist was struck by two vehicles and killed early Wednesday morning in a hit-and-run crash on Pacific Avenue in Vernon, authorities said.

The collision occurred around 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 22nd near 45th Street, according to the Vernon Police Department.

Investigators said the cyclist — a man whose identity has not yet been released — was initially hit by a southbound vehicle on Pacific Avenue. The impact threw him into the northbound lanes, where he was struck by a second vehicle.

Both drivers fled the scene without stopping to help, police said. Detectives are still working to identify the vehicles and drivers involved.
