An ice cream vendor in his 60s was struck by a pickup truck and killed as he pushed a cart in Sun Valley Monday.
The man was struck around 7:25 p.m. by a Ford Ranger headed east on Tuxford Street near Glenoaks Boulevard, said Lt. David Ferry of the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic Division.
The vendor was crossing to the north side of Tuxford Street, Ferry said.
"He was outside the crosswalk, illegally in the roadway pushing a concession cart," Ferry said of the vendor, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man driving the Ranger stopped to render aid and was not cited or arrested, Ferry said.

Hi! Yes, something is definitely happening there. I've stopped by a few times in hopes of bumping…Read More into the new owner but I haven't been so lucky. I've left my business card with a few construction workers but no one has gotten back to me so far. From what the workers told me, it's going to be a new restaurant. Those are all the details I have for now, but I'll keep you posted as soon as I found out more. Thanks!

Could give address next time. So that way people can go there.

I'm ready to stick a bike lane in the middle of the produce aisle at Ralphs at this point.

But first, we must develop credibility by learning how to spell and construct a sentence.
