A few weeks ago, a woman was struck and injured in a hit-and-run crash in the Westlake area. According to KTLA News Channel Five, the incident happened on October 1st, at the intersection of 8th and Carondelet Streets. Apparently, a 22-year-old woman was crossing the street when she was struck by a dark-colored, possibly gray, Toyota Tacoma. The pedestrian was rushed to an Intensive Care Unit for treatment of severe injuries.  

This is an open investigation, and police officers have recently released crash footage that showed the truck involved. Anybody with information about the vehicle or driver is being asked to come forward, and there is a reward being offered for information that leads to the driver’s identity, arrest and conviction.
