"Tragedy Strikes Sherman Oaks: Holocaust Survivor Killed in Senseless Hit-and-Run"
A devastating incident shook the quiet streets of Sherman Oaks on Tuesday evening, leaving a 80-year-old Holocaust survivor and his beloved dog dead after being struck by a speeding Maserati. The driver, who fled the scene without offering assistance, has yet to be identified.
The victim, Andriy Korshunov, was walking with his loyal canine companion through the bike lane of Woodman Avenue when the fatal accident occurred. Witnesses reported seeing the car's front bumper and hood severely damaged after colliding with the pair.
Korshunov's daughter, Ilana Ceitlin, expressed her outrage in an emotional statement to ABC 7, saying, "He didn't help him... He killed two souls." The family revealed that Korshunov had survived both the Holocaust and the Ukrainian war, only to meet a tragic end at the hands of a reckless driver.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident, but the driver's identity remains unknown. A car matching the description of the Maserati Quattroporte has been towed in as part of the investigation, although it is unclear whether this vehicle is directly linked to the case.
The LAPD has not yet confirmed Korshunov's identity, leaving his family to grieve without closure. As news of the incident spreads, the community is left to grapple with the senseless loss of a life and the devastating impact on those left behind.

A good person, who's been through so much, gets taken out by some careless driver in a Maserati 
. I remember when you could still walk down the street without worrying about being hit by a car... Andriy Korshunov was an old soul, had lived through the Holocaust and the Ukrainian war... to be killed by a reckless driver's speeding ticket 
. The dog too, poor thing... just because someone's in a hurry doesn't mean we should be hurtling around like maniacs 
.
... I mean, can you even imagine having survived both the Holocaust & Ukrainian war, only to get taken out by some careless driver? It's like, what even is the point of being alive if you're gonna get whacked by a car? 
The fact that the driver just took off without stopping or checking on anyone is just... ugh 
. My heart goes out to Korshunov's family, especially his daughter Ilana who's having to deal with this trauma all over again 
. I hope they get some justice and closure soon 
.
... 80 years old and he's already experienced so much trauma and now this? The thought of that car driving away without even stopping to help is just sickening 
... I keep thinking about all the things he must've seen during his time in the Holocaust, only to be taken out by some carelessly driving Maserati 
. I mean, can you even believe that someone would just leave an elderly Holocaust survivor and his dog dead on the street? It's just so reckless and inhumane. The fact that he didn't even stop to check if they were okay before taking off is just awful 
. My heart goes out to Andriy Korshunov's family, especially his daughter Ilana Ceitlin who's having to deal with this trauma all over again. 
. My heart goes out to Andriy's family and that poor pup who was with him 
this is just heartbreaking! I mean, can't people be more careful when driving? It's like they're in their own little world or something 
. I feel so bad for Andriy Korshunov and his poor dog - he'd already been through so much in his life, surviving the Holocaust and the Ukrainian war... to get taken down by a reckless driver 
. It just makes me want to hug everyone in Sherman Oaks right now 
and remind them to be more mindful when driving 
.
Can't we learn to be kind to others, especially the elderly and animals? 
omg this is so heartbreaking and senseless 
how can someone be so reckless and inhuman? 
And his poor dog too... innocent victim. The fact that the driver just took off without even checking if he was okay is just horrifying. 
. my only hope is that the LAPD can catch this reckless driver and make them face justice
