Moments later, a second vehicle struck the same man.
“That vehicle stopped to assist, and the driver has cooperated with investigators,” Flores said in a prepared news release.
“The unidentified male victim believed to be in his 50’s, was pronounced on scene by Santa Monica Fire personnel.”
As of Sunday, authorities had not yet located the Challenger. The vehicle was last seen heading eastbound on Pico Boulevard.
