Who would abandon a $400,000 Rolls-Royce on the street in Van Nuys?
Evidently, someone involved in a reckless driving incident that led to two wrecks and four people being taken to the hospital.
LAPD officers are on the hunt for the driver, who fled the scene of a crash Friday night.
Reported around 9:50 p.m., the collision was triggered by two luxury cars — a Rolls-Royce Cullinan ($389,000 for the base model) and Mercedes GT63 (base price $153,350) — going west side by side on Sherman Way at a high rate of speed, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The Mercedes driver clipped a Honda Civic turning left onto Sherman Circle, ejecting the Honda driver from the car and also injuring the passenger.
The Rolls-Royce driver swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid the collision, ran into a Chevy Traverse and crashed into the curb. The driver fled the scene.
