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.

It was a tragic accident. I see people cross streets illegally all the time, sometimes right in front of on-coming cars.

Dear tbs,
Deon Coles black box is the worst tv show ever. Though it is hosted by a black man, it's…Read More a show based on pointing fun and rude Racist jokes directed toward black people. If there was a white host it would be considered racist but because a black man was appointed to be host , you might have figured we wouldn't be offended but we are and I can't speak for all but I feel like resist jokes aren't ok regardless of who is telling them and I would like tbs to take down this show or atleast change the points in the show !
