Police are looking for three drivers involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed one pedestrian Sunday night in the West Adams neighborhood, officials said Monday.<\/p>\n
Around 9 p.m., a driver heading northbound on La Brea Avenue struck a 61-year-old man who was walking in an unmarked crosswalk eastbound from Roseland Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he was struck down on the street, the victim was hit by at least two other vehicles that were also traveling northbound on La Brea Avenue, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
None of the drivers from the three vehicles stopped to identify themselves or render help after striking the man.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics pronounced the victim dead while he was being taken to a nearby hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s identity will not be released until additional family is notified, police said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMotorists 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,\u201d the LAPD said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is asked to contact the South Traffic Division at 323-421-2500. A reward of up to $50,000 is available, according to the LAPD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are looking for three drivers involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed one pedestrian Sunday night in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":103068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,4530,224,5337,74791],"class_list":{"0":"post-120157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-lapd","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-west-adams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114974691705927812","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
