1 Hurt in Los Angeles Scooter Accident on Fourth Street and Main Street

 
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 28, 2021) – Wednesday afternoon, a scooter rider suffered injuries in a hit-and-run crash on Fourth Street and Main Street.
 
The incident occurred at around 1:10 p.m. on West Fourth Street and South Main Street.
 
According to reports, a woman rode a scooter against traffic in the one-way eastbound lanes of West Fourth Street. However, an eastbound 2020 Chevrolet Spark hit her head-on.
 
As a result, the impact ejected the woman and she fell head first on the sidewalk. Then, the driver went out of the Chevrolet and escaped the crash scene.
 
Upon the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics’ arrival, they transported the woman to a hospital with serious injuries. She’s now listed in stable condition.
 
Eventually, the investigators found out that the involved vehicle was reported stolen out of the LAPD Wilshire Division area.
 
Meanwhile, the authorities described the driver as a 20- to 25-year-old Hispanic man, 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He weighs between 150 and 175 pounds with a tattoo of unknown writing on the right side of his chest. Witnesses last saw him wearing gray pants with a possible camouflage pattern.
