LOS ANGELES - A man is devastated after witnessing his brother lose his life following a hit-and-run collision in Koreatown early Tuesday morning.

Investigators said the two victims were riding their bikes westbound on Olympic Boulevard when a white vehicle, believed to be a truck, pulled out from a parking spot and hit the brothers at the intersection of South Mariposa Avenue.

Officials say the 911 calls came in between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene and the other victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

"It’s sad, it’s truly heartbreaking. Two individuals trying to go to work and make a living and their day starts and ends like this," said LAPD Capt. Anthony Otero. "It’s unfortunate. You feel for their families."
