The Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic Division is calling for assistance in a hit-and-run incident that has left a 76-year-old woman with severe injuries. The collision, which occurred on the evening of November 24, 2024, involved a dark-colored sedan striking the elderly pedestrian as she crossed the street at the intersection of Fallbrook Avenue and Victory Boulevard. The driver did not stop to offer help and instead chose to flee the location, as reported by the LAPD.

In response to the situation, the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics swiftly transported the injured woman to a hospital for essential medical treatment. The vehicle involved is believed to be a 2010-2013 Honda Civic. The LAPD is urging the community to come forward with any information that might lead to the capture and conviction of the individual responsible for this grave incident.

A reward of up to $25,000, part of the Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund established by the City Council in 2015, awaits anyone who can provide information that brings about the resolution of this case, whether it be through a legal conviction or a civil compromise. Those with knowledge about the case are encouraged to contact Valley Traffic Detective Ramirez at 818-644-8025. Tips can be provided on an anonymous basis via the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or through the "P3 Tips" mobile application.
