Authorities in Los Angeles are urging the public to assist in identifying a woman hospitalized in a hit-and-run accident. According to a media alert sent by Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, the woman is of possible Hispanic descent and was brought in on December 21 after being struck by a vehicle around 6:30 p.m. at the corner of San Pedro and 88th Streets. She remains in critical condition, fighting for her life, sedated and reliant on a machine to briefly support her breathing, at the hospital's intensive care unit.
The patient carried no ID or personal belongings to shed light on her identity. Described as being in her 20s or 30s, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, 122 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, she also has a notable scar on her right side of the chest. Hospital officials hope that these details will prompt someone to come forward with information that could help to finally identify her. KTLA reported on the matter as well, underscoring the importance of public assistance in these critical situations.
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where the woman is currently being treated, has appealed to local media, asking anyone who may recognize the patient or might have relevant information regarding her identity to contact the hospital. This could enable the medical team to inform her family and possibly gather any crucial medical history that could influence her care and recovery.
Any person with potential leads is requested to urgently reach out by calling (424) 306-6990.
