A man was killed and a woman sustained critical injuries when the two pedestrians were struck by a Toyota Camry Tuesday evening in Canyon Country, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials said.
Deputies received a report of the collision at 8:23 p.m., officials said.
A car heading southbound on Sierra Highway reportedly struck a man and a woman, near Mirror Way, officials said.
One man was reportedly killed in the crash, and the woman was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital and is reportedly in critical condition.
The victim was a 65-year-old man who was not identified by officials with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
The man and woman were in an unmarked crosswalk when they were struck, according to Sgt. Rich Cohen of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Traffic Unit.
“They were crossing the road,” Cohen said. Drugs and alcohol were not believed to be a factor at this time, but the crash is still under investigation.
The names of the victims were not available at this time.
No arrests have been made in the incident, officials said.

Were they hit by a tow truck or a Toyota Camry? The story doesn’t match the title.
Not sure what you mean … the headline is “Pedestrian Killed in Canyon Country Crash.” There was a tow truck in the story when it came over last night, but that was removed this morning and wasn’t (as memory serves) in the headline.

It was in the main headline this morning at 6:27 am which linked to the story involving a Toyota Camry. Once I clicked on the ‘READ STORY’ link, there was no reference to a tow truck. God bless the victims and their family.

Ah, forgot we used that in a headline. Why the local Sheriff’s office insisted last night that the suspect vehicle was a tow truck, we have no idea. (We thought differently, but they said no, it was a tow truck.) They corrected the information this morning.
