WEST HOLLYWOOD—A male driver was killed in a traffic collision after an allegedly intoxicated driver neglected a stop sign and crashed into the victim’s car on Monday, April 20.

Though the deceased was initially identified as a child, subsequent reports have since confirmed that the person killed in the DUI crash was the adult male driving the vehicle.
