Police requested the public’s assistance Wednesday in locating a hit-and-run driver who severely injured a pedestrian in North Hollywood.
The collision was reported around 7:50 a.m. on Feb. 22, when a light-colored pickup truck heading westbound on Basset Street made a left turn at Coldwater Canyon Avenue moments before striking a woman in her 70s without stopping, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The woman was taken to a hospital with severe injuries. An update on her condition was not available Wednesday.
“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 service, and remain at the scene to identify themselves,” police said.
A reward of $25,000 is available for information that leads to the identity, arrest and conviction of the suspect.
