Hit-and-run in Los Angeles injures 63-year-old woman

On September 6, a 63-year-old woman was severely injured in a hit-and-run incident while walking in a marked crosswalk in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. when a black Hyundai sedan, turning onto Costello Avenue, struck her. Video footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department shows the woman looking both ways before entering the crosswalk, only to be hit by the vehicle, which then fled the scene without stopping to assist her. The police reported that the driver of the black Hyundai did not stop to identify themselves or render aid after the collision. Instead, the vehicle continued southbound on Costello Avenue and then westbound on Davana Terrace. The impact was severe enough to send one of the woman's shoes flying into the air, highlighting the force of the collision. Emergency responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived promptly at the scene and transported the injured woman to a local hospital for medical treatment. The police are actively searching for the driver and have released video evidence in hopes of identifying the suspect. The incident raises concerns about pedestrian safety in the area and the responsibilities of drivers to stop and assist in the event of an accident. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the hit-and-run to come forward to help bring the responsible party to justice.
