A pedestrian was killed Wednesday in a hit-and-run collision in the Marina del Rey area, authorities said.
An older model red Toyota Tacoma was traveling north on Lincoln Boulevard at around 5:35 a.m. Wednesday when it collided with a pedestrian heading east while crossing Lincoln Boulevard between Fiji Way and the Culver Boulevard overpass, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department pronounced the victim dead at the scene. The name of the pedestrian was being withheld by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner pending notification of relatives.
“Motorists are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves,” the police department said in a statement.
The city is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the suspect’s identity, arrest and conviction.
