Police sought the public’s assistance Tuesday in identifying a hit-and-run suspect responsible for severely injuring a 69-year-old pedestrian in Sherman Oaks.
The collision occurred around 7:50 a.m. on Oct. 28. A silver four-door sedan traveling east on Hatteras Street collided with a woman who was using a crosswalk at Willis Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
