The search continued Monday for the hit-and-run driving suspect who fatally struck a man and a 1-year-old child and critically injured a woman in Playa del Rey.
The driver fled the scene on foot, leaving behind a white Jeep at the location, according to Officer Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Division.
Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched at 4:34 a.m. Sunday to 6800 Vista Del Mar Lane, just south of Culver Boulevard and a couple blocks from the ocean. Authorities said the three victims were in the second vehicle when the crash occurred. A man who was approximately 30 years old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two critically injured victims, a woman who was approximately 30 years old and the child, were rushed to a hospital, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.
The child was later pronounced dead, Eisenman said.
The suspect who drove the white Jeep was last seen running northbound on Vista Del Mar, she added.
