Detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department are asking for the public’s assistance as they continue to investigate a hit-and-run incident that left a woman severely injured in the Elysian Park area last month.
The crash occurred around 3 p.m. on February 23 at the intersection of Stadium Way and Elysian Park Drive, according to police.
Authorities say an unidentified white hatchback was traveling through the intersection when it was involved in a non-contact collision. Investigators believe the vehicle’s unsafe driving forced a gray Toyota sedan heading northbound on Stadium Way to veer into oncoming traffic, where it struck two vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
The driver of the white hatchback did not stop to help and fled the scene, last seen heading west on Elysian Park Drive.
The injured woman was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries, though officials have not released further details about her condition.
Police are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect through the city’s Hit-and-Run Reward Program.
Anyone with information is urged to contact LAPD’s Central Traffic Division as the investigation remains ongoing.
