Injuries Reported in Carson Pedestrian Accident on Santa Fe Avenue and E Dominguez Street

CARSON, CA (January 15, 2024) – Last January 10th, Gumercindo Gonzalez sustained injuries in a crippling hit-and-run crash on Santa Fe Avenue and E Dominguez Street.

Reports revealed that the victim stepped into the crosswalk at Santa Fe Avenue and East Dominguez Street. Then, a driver in a dark gray 4-door car made a U-turn moment before crashing into the 72-year-old and failing to stop, attempt to render aid, or identify themselves.

“He crosses, the car speeds up and just makes a straight-up head-on collision,” the victim’s granddaughter said. “He hits my grandfather really hard. He hits the windshield, hits the ground and he just takes off as if nothing happened.”

“This is literally a block from home. He’s literally here,” Gonzalez’s granddaughter added. “My neighbors around here know my grandfather and he is a sweetheart.”

After the crash, the 72-year-old was listed in critical condition, breathing with the help of a ventilator and fighting to survive.

“He has lacerations, bruises, he has cuts,” his granddaughter revealed. “He got a big cut on his forehead. He ended up having internal bleeding in the brain.”

“If you guys see the car, a license plate number, take a picture, call the police report,” the granddaughter added. “You can always remain anonymous. Don’t be afraid. Please help me catch this guy.”

Furthermore, the authorities urged anyone with information about the incident or who may recognize the vehicle to call the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Carson Division, who is investigating the tragedy.

Meanwhile, Gonzalez’s family had set up a GoFundMe to help pay the victim’s medical bills.
