GLENDALE — A 41-year-old pedestrian in a marked crosswalk was struck and killed Saturday evening by a motorist later arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, according to police.
The unidentified victim was crossing Colorado Boulevard at Langley Street with his wife and 10-year-old son when they were hit about 8:15 p.m., said Sgt. Jim Woody of the Glendale Police Department.
“The 10-year-old was riding his Razor scooter, while his parents were walking behind him,” Woody said.
They were in the crosswalk when struck by a car westbound on Langley, Woody said. The father suffered severe head injuries. All three were taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, where the man died later that night. The mother and son were treated for minor injuries.
The driver, Jerome Hanken, 66, of Los Angeles was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving, Woody said.
