Cyclists pause to take pictures of makeshift memorial Wednesday, April 11, 2018, for a cyclist who was struck by a hit-and-run motorist driving a white Porsche Cayenne, Tuesday in Los Angeles. The victim, a man in his 20s, died at a hospital. A large group of bicyclists took over a Los Angeles intersection Wednesday afternoon to protest the hit-and-run death of a cyclist 24 hours earlier. A car pushed through and was pounded by people and then came back and did a hit-and-run on a cyclist, launching him into the air. The crowd also reportedly attacked an LAPD cruiser.

Pedestrian struck at vigil for previous hit-and-run in LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A vigil for a bicyclist killed in a hit-and-run crash erupted into violence Wednesday when a pedestrian was struck by a car in another hit-and-run and the crowd smashed the window of a responding police vehicle, Los Angeles authorities said.
The group gathered at a South Los Angeles intersection where a cyclist died a day earlier after being hit by a vehicle, police Officer Tony Im said.
A tan Honda Accord sped through the intersection around 1 p.m. Wednesday, hitting and injuring one man, Im said.
Video from the scene aired by KTLA-TV shows the victim flying off the car's hood and landing on the pavement. He then got up and hopped on one foot to the sidewalk, where he collapsed to the ground. His condition was not immediately available.
Im said the crowd grew angry and threw rocks and bottles at a police vehicle, breaking a window. No officers were hurt.
No arrests were reported. Investigators are searching for suspects in both crashes, officials said.
