UPDATED 4:20 p.m. Wednesday

A security guard working at a location for the CBS Drama “NCIS” was killed Wednesday morning after being hit by a van.

Ralph Blunt, 60, of Pasadena, a studio transportation driver working in the Valencia Industrial Center, was driving a 2006 Ford van into the parking lot at the former Los Angeles Daily News production facility at 24800 Avenue Rockefeller when he had a medical emergency that caused him to black out.

He subsequently lost control of the vehicle and hit Julio Garcia, 52, of Reseda, who was working a security detail at that location. The van continued into the parking lot struck two more parked cars before coming to a stop.

Our hearts grieve for his family and friends for this tragic loss. We are, of course, cooperating with local authorities in Santa Clarita to help determine what caused this terrible accident.”
