Police Wednesday released video of a hit-and-run crash in Canoga Park that severely injured a driver, hoping to generate leads to find the suspect.
The collision occurred Aug. 3 about 1 a.m. on Topanga Canyon Boulevard north of Parthenia Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The video, shot from another moving car, captures the entire incident as it unfolds.
“A white Acura 4-door sedan traveling northbound on Topanga Canyon Boulevard … sideswiped a gray 2022 BMW sedan, causing the driver of the BMW to lose control and collide with a pole,” an LAPD statement said. “The white Acura fled from the scene without stopping to identify themselves or to render aid to the other driver.”
Paramedics took the driver of the BMW to a hospital for treatment of “severe” injuries, police said.
A standing reward of up to $25,000 has been offered by the city of Los Angeles for information that helps solve the hit-and-run.
Police urged anyone with information on the case to call LAPD Valley Traffic Division Officers Reyes at 818-644-8114 or Santos at 818-644-8024. Tipsters may also call 877-LAPD-247 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, or use the website www.lacrimestoppers.org.
