Police sought the public’s assistance Tuesday in identifying a driver responsible for severely injuring a pedestrian during a hit-and-run collision in Brentwood in January.
The collision was reported at approximately 12:35 a.m. on Jan. 19. A black Toyota Prius that was traveling southbound on Bringham Avenue hit a male pedestrian who was in the southbound lanes of Bringham Avenue, north of Gorham Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
