Police Still Searching For Driver In July Hit-And Run

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA — The Los Angeles Police Department is still searching for the driver who caused a hit-and-run in July that left a man severely injured, and asked for the public's help to identify a suspect.

The crash happened on July 3 around 7:15 a.m., when a man was walking in a crosswalk at Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Magnolia Boulevard. Police say a dark Tesla Model 3 was turning left from Magnolia Boulevard onto Laurel Canyon Boulevard, when the driver struck the man and continued to drive rather than stopping to help.

The victim was seriously injured in the crash, LAPD said.

"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," LAPD said in a statement.

A reward of up to $25,000 is available to community members who provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Valley Traffic Officer Garibay, at 213 677-8157 or 818 644-8026. During non-business hours, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (1-877-527-3247).
