Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Traffic Division detectives are seeking the public’s help identifying the driver of a vehicle that struck a 49-year-old man leaving him in critical condition.

On February 5, 2025, around 8:50 p.m., the victim was crossing 1st Street west of Fresno Street when he was struck by a silver older model (1999-2004) Honda Odyssey traveling west on 1st Street. The driver continued traveling west on 1st Street without stopping, rendering aid, or identifying themselves, leaving the victim critically injured at the scene of the collision.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to the location and transported the victim to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.

Detectives canvassed the surrounding area and obtained CCTV footage of the incident. Video of the incident can be viewed here: lapdonline.org.

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.
