Felony Hit and Run Caught on Video NR19026ml

Boyle Heights: The Los Angeles
Police Department’s Central Traffic Division are asking for the
public’s help in providing any information that would lead to the
identification and arrest of the suspect involved in a felony hit
and run collision that struck a pedestrian.

On January 30, 2019, at approximately 7:20 AM, a pedestrian was
crossing the street, from the northeast corner of 8th Street and
Lorena Street, to the northwest corner. The pedestrian was in the
crosswalk when a possible 2000 to 2010 Honda 4-door Civic or a
vehicle with a similar body style, was making a left turn from 8th
Street onto northbound Lorena Street.

The vehicle struck the pedestrian, who rolled onto the hood of the
vehicle, then rolled off onto the street. The driver continued
driving and never stopped to render aid or identify
themselves.

The pedestrian sustained minor injuries and took himself to a local
hospital.

Drivers are reminded that if they become involved in a collision,
they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify
themselves.

The collision was recorded by a surveillance camera from a local
business. The vehicle will likely have damage to the hood.
