Los Angeles, CA (November 17, 2022) – Police are searching for the driver who fled after a crash on Vermont Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard on October 30 around 9:50 p.m.

Reportedly, the suspect ran a red light moments before it slammed into another car at the intersection. 

After the crash, the suspect’s mangled car quickly pulled into a gas station parking lot, made a U-turn, and drove away.

Officials said the victims, a couple, sustained minor injuries and were treated by paramedics at the scene.

Police have since contacted the vehicle’s owner; however, they deny driving the Acura during the crash. The owner claims they loaned the car to someone else but couldn’t recall their full name. 

Moreover, the vehicle was impounded for evidence, but the suspect remains at large.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as a gold-colored 2007 Acura TL sedan with a California license plate of 7USH327.
