In a tragic incident in California, a Maserati driver is accused of fatally hitting an 80-year-old Holocaust survivor and his service dog, both of whom were crossing the street on Tuesday night.

Andriy Korshunov, a survivor of wartime atrocities in Ukraine and the Holocaust, was reportedly killed in a hit-and-run. Authorities and his family revealed that the driver allegedly abandoned the car just a short distance from the site of the accident.

This heartbreaking event coincided with International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

“He didn’t stop to help him. He just fled the scene,” Korshunov’s daughter, Ilana Korshunov, expressed in an interview with local CW affiliate KTLA. “He took two innocent lives. I can’t fathom what kind of person would do such a thing. It’s incomprehensible.”

According to police reports, Korshunov was crossing Woodman Avenue in Sherman Oaks around 11:30 p.m. when the speeding Maserati struck him and his dog. Witnesses reported that the driver paused briefly following the collision before fleeing and abandoning the vehicle.

The Maserati, found with extensive front-end damage and missing license plates, was recovered by the police. As of Thursday, the search for the driver continued.

“God sees everything, and God sees what he’s done,” Ilana Korshunov told KTLA. “He has to do something. First of all, apologize to God for what he’s done.”

A GoFundMe launched for Korshunov’s family by Ilana Korshunov describes him as a Holocaust survivor who “rebuilt his life” and “carried his resilience with quiet strength for eight decades.”

“He survived unimaginable horrors,” the GoFundMe says. “My father survived history’s darkest chapter, only to have his life taken so suddenly and senselessly. Any support — whether through a donation or by sharing this page — means more than I can express. It helps honor his life, his survival, and the love he gave.”
