Violent Pedestrian Crash Near Western Avenue Injures 2 [Los Angeles, CA]

Los Angeles, CA (December 6, 2024) A 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were hurt after a horrific pedestrian crash near Western Avenue.

According to Los Angeles police, the horrific hit-and-run crash happened in Koreatown on November 18 at around 8:37 p.m.

LAPD officers are searching for the driver of a gray Toyota Camry involved in a hit-and-run collision that severely injured two pedestrians in Koreatown on November 18.

The victims, a 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, were crossing near Western Avenue and Monette Avenue around 8:37 p.m., outside of a crosswalk.

Officials say that dashcam footage from a nearby bus shows the pair standing in a center divider lane as traffic passed. Moments later, the suspect’s car struck them, violently throwing them onto the hood before they fell to the ground.

The driver fled the scene, leaving the victims lying on the road. Emergency responders transported both pedestrians to the hospital, where they were treated for severe injuries, including internal bleeding, broken bones, and other trauma.

The female victim, now in a rehabilitation center, continues to recover from significant injuries, including a broken foot and persistent headaches. Both victims expressed gratitude for surviving but remain emotional and in pain, hoping the driver is apprehended soon.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as a gray 2018–2024 Toyota Camry sedan, possibly with damage to the driver’s side. A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to the suspect’s identification, arrest, and conviction.

Authorities urge drivers involved in collisions to stop immediately, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene.
