Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a hit-and-run driver who left a man in his 70s with serious injuries in the Koreatown area last week.
According to Los Angeles police, it happened Friday around 6:40 p.m., when a pedestrian was standing next to his car on southbound New Hampshire Avenue, just south of Eighth Street.
They say the driver of a white Ford F-150 struck the man and drove off without stopping to help, and was last seen westbound on James M. Woo Boulevard.
Paramedics took the man to hospital for treatment with serious injuries.
The city of Los Angeles is offering a fixed reward of up to $50,000 through a trust fund for hit-and-run investigations. Anyone with information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect is urged to contact LAPD detectives at (213) 473-0238.
