Los Angeles: On Sunday, November

northbound on Broadway at 7th Street, in a marked crosswalk, when
he was hit by a dark four door vehicle, possibly a Dodge
Avenger.

traffic and collided with the pedestrian.

The vehicle continued eastbound on 7th Street where it stopped at
7th Street and Spring Street; the driver exited the vehicle, looked
at the damage to his or her vehicle, then fled the location without

yellow vest. Video surveillance captured the traffic collision and
captured the driver exiting their vehicle at 7th and Spring. The
pedestrian was transported to USCMC with severe injuries.
