SHERMAN OAKS, LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 (KNN) — The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death of a pedestrian found on the roadway and possibly involved in a collision with a vehicle in Sherman Oaks early Thursday.

A 911 caller reported a body on the roadway in the 5600 block of Hazeltine Avenue before a collision involving a gray van.
