A pedestrian met a tragic end on a Los Angeles street late Sunday night when a silver Subaru Impreza slammed into her as she crossed the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard. The impact was fatal, thrusting the victim onto the roadway, where she lay as the driver sped off into the night.
First responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived swiftly at the scene. Despite their efforts to save the wounded pedestrian,. The victim, whose name has yet to be released until the family is notified, was pronounced dead after being rushed to a local hospital. According to the LAPD's news release, the driver involved in the incident failed to perform their legal obligations by not remaining at the scene or providing any identification or assistance to the injured pedestrian.
The Los Angeles Police Department's West Traffic Division is delving into the case to unearth the circumstances that led to the tragic event, with the question of drug or alcohol influence remaining unanswered at this time.
