Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Traffic Division detectives are asking for the public’s help identifying a driver involved in a hit-and-run collision that severely injured a woman in her 20’s.

On April 6, 2025, at 2:24 a.m., a blue hatchback vehicle was traveling northbound on Los Angeles Street near Olympic Boulevard when it crashed into a female pedestrian, who was crossing Los Angeles Street. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop, render aid, and remain at scene as required by law, and fled the scene northbound on Los Angeles Street towards Olympic Boulevard.

The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and transported the female pedestrian to a local hospital where she was treated for severe injuries.
