A person is dead and another was injured after a high-speed crash in Van Nuys early Wednesday morning.

Investigators are trying to figure out if the driver who survived this crash might have also been involved in a hit-and-run that took place in the area a few minutes earlier.

The Los Angeles Police Department believes speed was a factor in this crash. They said just before 1 a.m., the driver of a gray Scion was going north on Kester Avenue when he collided with a Prius going west on Saticoy Street. It's unclear if someone ran the light, but investigators believe the driver of the Scion was going fast at the time of the collision.
