Podcaster and Arizona State University graduate Mat George died in a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles early Saturday morning, according to his co-host.
City News Service reported that George, 26, was struck by a white BMW at approximately 2:20 a.m. while walking in an unmarked crosswalk in the Beverly Grove neighborhood. George was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle did not stop or notify emergency services, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which identified the victim simply as a 26-year-old Arizona resident.
“Mat was killed in a hit and run last night,” his co-host Michaela Okland confirmed in a tweet. “I don’t really have any other words right now.”
