Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who left a bicyclist severely injured in L.A.’s Pico-Union neighborhood.
The crash occurred on May 28 as the bicyclist was traveling southbound on Hoover Street on the sidewalk around 3:15 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
As the bicyclist rode through the intersection, a driver in a white sedan making a left turn onto 20th Street struck the man.
Surveillance footage released on July 17 showed the violent impact propelled the victim into the air before he landed on the roadway. The suspect did not stop to check on him and continued speeding away.
The victim, identified only as a man in his 60s, was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries.
“Motorists are reminded that if they become involved in a traffic 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,” LAPD said.
A reward of up to $25,000 is available to anyone who provides information leading to the suspect’s identification, apprehension, and conviction.
Due to the grainy footage, police were unable to provide a possible make or model of the suspect’s white sedan. No further details were released as the incident remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call LAPD Detective Holmes at 213-473-0216.
The public can also call the LAPD at 1-877-527-3247. Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.
