From the article:
****The pedestrian was struck in the 7800 block of West Manchester Avenue in the Playa del Rey area about 11:15 a.m., according to the L.A. Fire Department.
The male victim, who had been on a scooter, suffered non-life threatening injuries, LAPD Sgt. Thomas Trandal told KTLA. The victim was “sucked up under” the car but was expected to be OK, the sergeant said. *****
So was he a pedestrian or a driving a scooter????????????
