Sherman Oaks, CA (June 21, 2025) — A devastating crash in Sherman Oaks Saturday morning claimed the life of a young boy and left three others injured after a sedan collided with a parked moving van.
According to reports, the fatal collision occurred at 10:17 a.m. on June 21 along Woodman Avenue near Moorpark Street. Authorities say a Lexus sedan struck the rear of a legally parked moving truck with such force that the impact pierced the passenger side of the vehicle.
A 12-year-old boy, who was riding in the front passenger seat, died at the scene. His mother, who was driving the vehicle, and his 10-year-old brother were among those injured and transported to a local hospital. A fourth person was also taken to the hospital, although their medical transport was reportedly unrelated to the crash.
Investigators noted that there were no visible skid marks, suggesting the driver may not have seen the truck in time to avoid the collision. The truck had placed cones around it and was parked legally, consistent with delivery vehicle protocol, according to law enforcement.
