Felony Hit and Run Traffic Collision
June 28, 2019
Southwest Division: The Los Angeles Police Department's South Traffic Division detectives are asking for the public's assistance in providing information that will lead to the identification and arrest of a driver in a hit and run collision that injured a 42-year-old victim.
On Monday, June 16, 2019, around 10:00 a.m., a severe hit and run traffic collision occurred at Figueroa Street and 45th Street. A light (possible silver) Nissan Sentra was traveling southbound Figueroa Street when they made a left westbound turn onto 45th Street and collided with a bicyclist, traveling northbound on Figueroa Street. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and render aid, identify him/herself as required by law.
Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics responded and transported the victim, to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Drivers are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should stop, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves.
On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit and Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $25,000 is available to community members who provide information leading to the offender's identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.
